Applicant seeks zoning approval for state-certified impound yard; staff outlines setbacks and waiver process
Summary
A business owner seeking to establish a state-certified impound yard described required fencing and security; planning staff said a corner-lot site-triangle setback and a zoning waiver process would apply and advised the applicant to submit materials to planning and zoning for approval.
An applicant seeking to establish a state-certified impound yard described state requirements for such a facility—100 by 200 feet of secure yard, a 6-foot chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire and privacy slats—and asked whether the city would process the work without special permits. Planning staff advised the applicant to bring the proposal to planning and zoning because the site is a corner lot and may require administrative approval and a waiver for a 6-foot fence.
Staff explained the site-triangle rule for corner lots and said the applicant could seek an agricultural-fence waiver through the zoning administration. The applicant said excavated material from post holes would be hauled to the city cell and he would return to planning and zoning with a formal application and recuse from any council vote related to his request.
