Ordinance: Fence and Hedge Height Text Amendment ~ 5:00 p.m. 25 min. The Council will receive a briefing about proposals that would amend multiple sections of Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code. The first proposal would increase the fence height of front yard fences (between the front lot line and the primary façade of the principal structure) from the required four feet to a maximum of six feet in all M-1 (Light Manufacturing) and M-1A (Northpoint Light Industrial) zoning districts City-wide. A second proposal would clarify the height and location of fences, walls, and hedges, in accordance with the defined clear view standards. Currently, fences, walls, and hedges are all regulated the same in the ordinance. Planning staff has recommended removing the word “hedges” to be replaced with the word “landscaping” in the fencing ordinance and the ground mounted utility boxes ordinance. They have also recommended increasing the rear and side yard fence height to a maximum of seven feet. Other sections of Title 21A may also be amended as part of this petition.
