Burbank City Council Schedules Public Hearing
August 16 on Fence Standards

On August 16, 2005, the City Council will hold a public hearing to consider changing the standards for fences and walls located in residential areas and would like input from the public. The standards being considered would increase the height of fences and walls in front yards from 3 to 4 feet and, on corner lots, increase the height of fences and walls from 3 to 6 feet along a portion of the street-facing side yard.

The proposal being considered would also establish standards to permit the construction of arbors, pergolas, and similar structures and a grace period on the enforcement of existing illegal fences and walls of up to 3 years depending on the height of the fence or wall.

The Public Hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16, in the Council Chambers at Burbank City Hall, 275 E. Olive Avenue,  Burbank, CA.
