TO: FOR: FROM: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL Council Meeting of 2 October 1990 Jaime R. Agullera, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Amendment of Ordinance 0-13-87 Section 15.24.040 Fences required -- Pools The existing ordinance does not allow for wrought iron fences due to its restric- tion of the size of openings. Since wrought iron fencing is a viable form of protecting pool areas, staff proposes to amend the ordinance as follows: A. Any fence or wall which is approved by the zoning ordinance may be used to protect a pool area so long as the fence or wall meets the following re- quirements: a) that openings in the fence/wall not be wider than four (4) inches. b) that a ladder effect is not produced by the openings. c) that the height of the fence/wall be a minimum of five (5) feet as measured from the top of the outside grade. B. Said fence wall shall be maintained on the lot or premises upon which is situated a swimming pool, portable, or above ground type pools, or other open area of water including reservoirs, sumps, and irrigation ditches where the water level is higher than eighteen inches. C. Such fence or structure shall completely surround such pool or area and all gates or doors opening through such enclosures shall be equipped with self-closing and self -latching devices designed to keep such opening securely closed at all times when not In actual use. The door of any struc- ture forming any part of the reqired enclosure need not be so equipped. There is no financial impact to the City and since the type of fencing is volun- tary, it will also be of no financial impact to our constituents FILE f'0. ___c: �: _ ._----_.....
