OTHER BUSINESS
5. City Code Amendment Initiation - The Planning Commission will consider initiating the following amendments to city code:
1. Amending the allowed fence height for fences located in a front yard or corner side for properties in manufacturing zoning districts. Other related fence regulations in manufacturing zones may also be amended as part of this initiation. The initiation will consider increasing the allowed fence height when the fence is located at the front or corner side yard setback line and for fences next to side property lines.
2. Amending the factors to consider associated with petitions to close or vacate a public alley. The amendment would consider all the existing factors, specifically if public access to the alley has been blocked without approval and if the closure or alley may impact the future development of the property and public circulation. Other factors may also be modified by this initiation.
