PROJECT ANALYSIS
Proposed Project. The applicant is requesting approval of zoning modification to construct
7 -foot tall masonry walls along the side and rear property lines where the maximum
permissible height is 6 feet (I 7.08.I80.A) and. to legalize an existing 6 -foot tall masonry wall
within the front yard setback where the maximumpermissible height is 4 feet (•17.08.180.8) on
a. lot developed with a single-family residence in an R-3 (Multiple -Family Dwelling Zone)
district (see "Figure 1; Site Photos" below).
The property to the north is developed with an multiple -family residential complex, properties
to the south are developed with single-family residences and a residential triplex, the
property to the west is developed with a residential triplex, and the properties to the east are
developed with single-family residences (See Table 1, Surrounding Land Uses, below).

As demonstrated by the Site Photos below, a 6 -foot tall masonry wall exists along the entire
northern property line which extends into the front yard setback area (where 4 -feet is the
maximum permitted height). The applicant indicated that the wall was constructed because
a two-story apartment complex was recently constructed on the adjacent property and the
wall provides increased privacy and. security. The applicant increased the height of thewall
within the front yard setback area from 4 to 6 feet. The applicant has indicated that, since
the height of the wall was increased, the problems experienced by the applicant have
lessened and that they would like to further increase the height of the 6 -foot wall along the
northern property boundary to 7 feet and also construct 7 -foot tall masonry walls along the
remaining perimeter of the property to further lessen current and future privacy and safety
problems.
Therefore, the applicant's request consists of three parts: (1) to legalize an existing 6 -foot tall
masonry wall within the front yard along the northern property boundary; (2) to increase the
height of the masonry wall along the side -yard portion of the northern property to 7 feet (not
Within the 4 -foot front yard maximum area); and (3). to construct new 7 -foot tall masonry
walls along the southern property boundary (not within the 4 -foot front yard maximum area)
and along the western rear -yard property boundary (see "Figure 2, Site Plan" below).
It is noted that the wall associated with parts (1) and (2) of the request extends into the
public right-of-way for N Street. This modification is not applicable to the portion of the wall
within the ROW; and in order to legally retain this portion of the wall, the applicant must
obtain an encroachment permit from the Public Works Department.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION, ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION
Public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination was advertised in
The Bakersfield. Californian and posted on the bulletin board in the City of Bakersfield
Community Development Building; 1715 Chester Avenue; Bakersfield, California. All property
owners within 300 feet of the project site were notified by United States mail on October 2,
2015 regarding this public hearing in accordance with city ordinance and state law.
This project has been found to be exempt from the. provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Bakersfield's CEQA Implementation Procedures in
accordance with Section 15305(a) because the project represents a minor modification of a
zoning regulation. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared.
PAST MODJFCATION REQUESTS FOR INCREASED WALL HEIGHT
Table 2 identifies wall and fence height modifications approved by your Board since 2009
and demonstrates that your Board has granted a limited number of modifications for fence
excess heights where specific conditions warrant the project.
It is relevant to note that front -yard fences in excess of 4 -feet have only been. allowed in
limited circumstances where: (1) the fences were made from material that is visually
transparent (such as chain link or wrought iron) that would not "wall off" or block the visibility
from the abutting streets; (2) the fence/wall was associated with a larger multi -family
apartment complex that has a large frontage area; or (3) when the fence/wall was to
secure or screen a non-residential facility (such as. utility infrastructure).

STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
Section 17.64.060.B contains specific findings that must be made in order for your Board to
approve the requested modification, Specifically, the section states that:
A modification shall be granted only when it is found that:
1. The granting of such modification would not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare, nor injurious to the property or improvements in the zone or vicinity in which the
project is located; and
2. The granting of the modification is necessary to permit an appropriate improvement or
improvements on a lot or lots, including but not limited to, modification of such
regulations for some or all lots within a subdivision to facilitate zero -lot -line or other
atypical subdivision development; and
3. The granting of the modification would not be consistent with the purposes and intent of
Title 17 of this code.
Section 17.64.060.D also states that a. modification may be subject to such conditions as
deemed appropriate or necessary to assure compliance with the intent and purpose of the
zoning regulations and the various elements and objectives of the general plan and
applicable specific plans and policies of the city or to protect the public health, safety,
convenience, or welfare.
As noted above, the proposal consists of three parts: (1) to legalize an existing 6 -foot tall
masonry wall within the front yard along the northern property boundary; (2) to increase the
height of the masonry wall along the side yard portion of the northern property to 7 feet (not
within the 4 -foot front yard maximum area); and. (3) to construct new 7 -foot tall masonry
walls along the southern property boundary (not within the 4 -foot front yard maximum area)
and along the western rear -yard property boundary (see "Figure 2, Site Plan" below).
With regard to part I of the request (retain existing 6 -foot block wall in front yard), Staff finds
that this can be supported for the following specific reasons:
1. The existing 6 -foot wall is within the side yard between two legal lots and does not
parallel the front property line. Therefore, when viewed from N Street, there is no visual
obstruction of the front yard or the front of the residence (see "Site Photo" on page 2).
2. No safety, aesthetic, or clear sight view issues associated with the proposal have been
identified.
3. The .single-family home and the multi -family apartment complex are within close
proximity to one another (5 feet from the common property line) and the increased wall
height may provide added privacy to the applicant.
With regard to parts 2 and 3 of the request (7 -foot walls in the side -yards and rear -yard), Staff
finds that the information in Table 2, along with the evidence submitted by the applicant,
demonstrate that the request can be supported.

In accordance with the required findings, Staff finds that the proposal would not be
detrimental to the public welfare, the modification is necessary to permit appropriate
improvements on the subject property, and the granting of the modification would not be
inconsistent with the purposes. and intent of the Bakersfield Zoning Ordinance. The reason for
the request isto increase current and future privacy and safety. No safety, aesthetic, or clear
sight view issues associated with the proposal have been identified. Therefore, in light of the
close proximity of the two-story apartment buildings on the abutting property and the
privacy and safety problems experienced by the applicant, the granting of the request is
considered by Staff to be appropriate and Staff recommends approval, subject to the
recommended conditions of approval.
