§ 7.703. Requirements for temporary/security fencing and permits.

A.

The installation/erection of a temporary/security fence requires a building permit issued by the City. However, no building permit is required for a temporary/security fence on vacant sites or for an approved special event permit, unless required by the building code.

B.

No construction on a site or in the public right-of-way that requires a temporary/security fence shall begin before the temporary/security fence is in place and approved by the Building Official. Except as specified in Section 7.702, the property owner shall provide a temporary/security fence in the following circumstances:

1.

When construction and/or demolition occurs on any site visible from a public or private street, except for one (1) single-family dwelling and its associated site improvements;

2.

When required in accordance with the building code; and/or

3.

When mass grading occurs within three hundred (300) feet of a public or private street.

C.

Temporary/security fencing within the right-of-way or roadway easement shall require a separate encroachment permit issued by the City.

D.

A temporary/security fencing permit shall not be issued for more than ninety (90) days, unless the permit for the temporary/security fencing is associated with an active building permit as determined by the Building Official. The Building Official may authorize and/or require an extension of the temporary/security fencing permit if an active building permit has expired, and/or if a construction site is abandoned and/or is determined detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.
