7 <br />j.Residential Care Facility Fee Article 29.5.C.10, - This section currently exempts specific <br />non-residential uses from the affordable housing impact fee, however it lists some uses <br />such as small residential care facilities and congregate housing, which are considered <br />residential uses. The proposed amendments would remove the ‘nonresidential’ <br />description from affordable housing fee exemption, as both residential and non- <br />residential uses are subject to the fee exemption. No other changes are made to the list <br />of uses eligible for a fee exemption. <br />k.Fences (Article 36.3) - Article 36 establishes regulations for exterior improvements on a <br />property and Article 36.3 specifically regulates fences. <br />Currently, the Zoning Code requires a vision triangle for fencing, that within a <br />15 foot wide triangular zone between the driveway and the sidewalk (see <br />Figure A, below) solid fencing may be constructed up to 3 feet tall and open <br />fencing (meaning it permits direct vision through 80% of the fence) may be <br />constructed up to 5 feet tall in order to provide sufficient sight lines between <br />pedestrians and vehicles exiting their properties. The current 15 foot vision <br />triangle is excessive for most neighborhood streets. The proposed <br />amendment would reduce the sight vision triangle to 10 feet on most streets <br />and the vision triangle would remain 15 feet along high vehicle volume streets <br />such as: El Camino Real, Farm Hill Blvd., Jefferson Ave., Middlefield Rd., <br />Whipple Ave., etc. <br />Figure A – Vision Triangle <br />8.B. - Page 207 of 212 <br />522
