Item 6.1 - Consideration of Fence Height Exception for Places of WorshipCITY OF POWAY
MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Steve Vaus, Mayor
DATE: July 16, 2019
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Fence Height Exception for Places of Worship
QTY r;�� rEiE co
The Poway Municipal Code (PMC) generally restricts the height of fences and walls to a
maximum of six feet. Considering recent active shooter situations across our nation, and even
in our own city, it has come to my attention that some places of worship would like to enhance
site security, and thereby the safety of their congregants, by erecting taller fencing.
I am requesting Council concurrence to direct staff to prepare an Ordinance amending the
PMC to allow taller fences and walls for places of worship. The Ordinance should be brought
to the City Council in 60-90 days.
