WHEREAS, as a result of recent zoning actions which revealed a trend toward the
appruval of variance applications to permit the enclosure of outdoor storage areas in in-
dustrial zones by means of a chainlink fence in lieu of the solid masonry wall as required
uy Code, staff proceeded Co sCUdy Che possibliliC~ of amendment to the Anaheim Municipal
Code, Title 18, Chapter 18.52, Section 18.52.060 - SiCe Develoament Standards, Subsection
(3) - Fences and Walis ir order to eliminate continued variance applications; and
iJHEREAS, upon review of the study presnnted by staff at the Planning Commission
meeting of SEptember 17, 1973, the Commission determined that the proposed amendment re-
garding fences and wallsshould be considered at public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City Plannin~ Cammission did hold a public hearing at the City Hall in
the Ciiy of Anaheim on October 15, 1973, at 2:00 o°clock P.M., notice of said public hearing
having been duly given as required by law and in accordance wiCh the provis:.ons of the Ana-
heim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed code amend-
ment and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WAEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, inve'stigation, and study made by it-
self and in its behalf, and after due consideration of a;.l evidence and reports offered at
said hearing, does find and determine the following facCeC
1. That, in general, variances were denied and solid masonry oJall required only when:
a. The storage area was adjacent to a street frontage or any residential zone
boundary, except•ing R-A .oned undeveloped properties which were undar a
Resolution of Intent to a non-residential zone; or
b. Industrial operations such as fabrication, assembly, etc., were requested
in addition to the storage of products and/or materials.
2, That where chainlink fences were granted in lieu of masonry walls, the following
conditions lYere senerally imposed:
a. Idterweaving of redwood slats in the chainlinkfence to provide an effective
sight screen from adjoining properties;
b. The excl,usion of industrial uses, other thaa storage, from areas enclosed
only by the chainlink fence; and ,
c. Landscaping was required in conjunction with the chainlink fence to aid in
the buffering f~:om adjoi~ning properties.
3. That since approvals of the majority of requests for waivers from industrial site
enclosure requirements indicated the present screening requirements might be too
stringent, some flexibility should be provided in ttte ordinances in order to ac-
commodate other types of screening which would still serve to buffer the sighta
and sounds of outdoor industrial ~ctivities from adjoining streets and properties.
4. That although the present Site Development Standards required fenaing of industriol
sites adjacent to residential zones, it did not require fencing adjacent to com-
mercial zones, even though industrial activities were frequently as in~ompatible
with commercial uses as with residential uses, and similar screening shoul3 be
provided between co~ercial and industrial uses as well.
5. That three alternatives were presented) however, upon review of the aiternatives,
the Commission determined that revisions should be made to include portions of the
three alternatives.
