FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness for a chain link fence in a side yard.
FILE: CA-2792
STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends denial of the request.
Lorenzo Barajas has constructed a chain link fence along his west property line at 2475 North
Street. An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness was submitted after code enforcement
discovered the violation. Mr. Barajas has stated that the fence is needed for security purposes.
The neighboring apartment tenants drive their vehicles onto his property, and walk across his
rear yard.
As the fence does not enclose any part of the yard, it is staff's opinion that a wood privacy or
picket fence would serve the same purpose as the new chain link fence.
The property is not listed in SPARE.
Exhibits are attached.
