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. 1 of 1 July 16, 2019, Item #6.1
