ZA-88-45 Zoning Amendment to modify South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapter 20.73 to include regulations on the use of barbed wire fences in the City. September 8, 1988 Staff Report presented. Sergeant Petrocchi presented a report from the police department opposing the zoning amendment as presented. The police department feels barbed wire is justified in certain cases to provide a safe and secure environment. He stated that requiring a use permit or having the Planning Director review and approve such requests would be acceptable. The Commission discussed the aesthetics of barbed wire (which, staff reported, initiated the amendment) and the unknown impact the amendment would have. Several Commissioners felt the Planning Commission should review all applications and recognized that there are occasions when barbed wire fences are necessary in mixed residential/commercial zones. A majority of the Commission felt that the amendment added to unnecessary bureaucracy and restates requirements already contained in the Nuisance Abatement Ordinance. The entire commission felt that to require all existing barbed wire fences to comply with the ordinance was excessive. PAGE 3 OF 4 PAGES 9/8/88 PC MTG.
