AGENDA ITEM # 8
ZOA NO. 2009-01
DATE: June 9, 2009
TO: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission Members
FROM: Jonathan Colin, Director of Development Services
BY: Michael Allen, Planning Consultant
SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2009-01
Hedge Ordinance
PROPOSAL
Request to amend Lynwood Municipal Code Section 25 (Zoning) by adding new
regulations to subsection 25-10-12 (a) regulating the height of fences, walls, and
hedges.
BACKGROUND
Section 25-10-12 (a) of the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) addresses the height of
fences, walls, and hedges, and indicates that the maximum height of all fences, walls,
and hedges at all locations, except in the required front yard setback, is six feet (6~.
This section clearly identifies that fences may not be more than six (6~ feet in height;
however, it does not indicate the maximum height allowed within the front yard setback
for either fencing or hedges.
The Fences, Walls, and Hedges regulations have been amended multiple times in the
past twenty years. The first amendment in 1991 was intended to incorporate new
property development and design standards for fences, walls and hedges in the non-
residential zones. The purpose was brought on by the City's desire to eliminate the
elements which contributed to a negative city image. At that time, along most of the
City's commercial and industrial corridors there were major elements of blight. Razor
and barbed wire on fences and block walls were openly visible from the street. In
addition, the lack of landscaped screening, deteriorating fences and walls, poor design,
and low maintenance contributed to the disorder.
Following the introduction of regulations for fences, walls and hedges, the City's
Planning Commission and City Council adopted new design guidelines to include the
residential zones, specifying the different requirements within front yard set-backs as
well as corner lots.
In 1994 the Planning Commission appointed a subcommittee to look into possible
regulations in response to many incompatible fences being constructed in the front
yards of single family residences. After the review, the Commission concluded that a 4
foot fence (as previously permitted) gave very limited protection and primarily served to
keep dogs and children out or in. The Commission decided that the best action to take
t
was to restrict new fences entirely in the 20 foot front yard setback. Front yard fences
were only permitted if it could be shown that it was necessary to prevent significant
trespass. Similar standards were applied to side yard fences on corner lots and single
family houses and units in multiple family zones.
Because of a great number of requests, the Planning Commission made it possible to
erect fences to be constructed within the front yard set-back, not to exceed 48" (four
feet). In doing so, the Commission did not re-implement the standards related to the
height of hedges, leaving no guidelines at all.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
The ordinance regulating fences, walls and hedges is intended to provide generally
acceptable standards of development for Lynwood. More specifically, regulations for
fences, walls and hedges exist for a variety of reasons, including aesthetics, uniformity,
and safety.
There have been many complaints regarding the lack of standards for hedges in the
LMC. Currently Section 25-10-12 addresses the height of fences and walls; however it
no longer regulates the height of hedges in the front yard setback. For safety reasons,
fencing in the front yard must be open (transparent) approximately 66%. To address
this issue staff has developed the following options to be considered:
Option #1
Leave the ordinance as is. However, the issue will not go away. There will continue to
be safety hazards as well as impacted views to and from neighboring properties.
Option #2
Amend the code to prohibit hedges in the front yard set-back. Although, hedges and
other landscaping usually improve the aesthetics of a property, and a hedge limited to
the height of a block wall is no different than the block wall itself.
Option #3
Permit hedges in the front yard set-back that meets certain development standards.
Hedges that are permitted in the front yard set-back no higher than the thirty six inch
(36'~ maximum height for walls will not negatively impact aesthetics and will not impact
the safety of property owners as well as the surrounding community members.
Staff considers option #3 is the preferred option. Staff does believe that open front
yards with limited barriers is a more desirable appearance, however this does not
2
provide the residents and property owners with the sense of privacy and protection of
their own property. Of the survey conducted, every city permits hedges in the front
yard set-back. The majority of cities limit the height of the hedge to the height of the
walls. In this case, the proposed development standard is to permit hedges to no more
than thirty six inches (36'x. A 36" hedge will provide the barrier often desired by
property owners, and for safety purposes keeping in-line with the 66% opening for
fences in the front yard, hedges will be restricted to 36".
An option to consider is limiting the types of plants allowed in the front yard setback.
Attached is a list of common Southern California drought resistant plants, provided by
the Los Angeles Green Building Program which is administered by the Los Angeles
County Department of Regional Planning.
The attached ordinance has proposed deletions struck through and proposed additions
in bold. In addition to adding the height requirement of hedges, staff has re-written
the majority of Section 25-10-12 to be more comprehensible.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is determined to be categorically exempt
under California Environmental Quality Act Section 15061. (B)(3).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 3235, approving
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2009-01 and recommending that the City Council
approve the attached ordinance.
