General Inspection Comments Fail Page 1 of 1City of San Luis ObispoMay 24, 2024 Notice to Correct Code Violation(s)/Notice of Violation (Courtesy Warning Prior to Issuance of Administrative Citation) May 13, 2021 VELLUM INC 3590 BROAD ST 130 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 SUBJECT ADDRESS: 2082 FIXLINI SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 APN: 003-602-008 Code Case #: CODE-000213-2021 Dear Property Owner, On May 13, 2021 City of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department staff noted the following violations of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code or other relevant codes at the above listed address: 1. The fence constructed along the northwest and southwest property line is above the maximum allowed height for its location. Any fence at the property line can stand a maximum of three (3) feet in height and can increase up to six (6) feet in height at or beyond the minimum required setback (refer to figure 3-3 below). The minimum required setback from the northwest facing portion of the parcel (front of property along Fixlini St) is 20 feet from the property line. The minimum required setback from the southwest facing portion (side of property along Johnson Ave) of the parcel is 10 feet from the property line. San Luis Obispo Municipal Code § 17.70.070: Fences, walls, and hedges. A. Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to achieve a balance between concerns for privacy and public concerns for enhancement of the community appearance, visual image of the streetscape, overall character of neighborhoods, and to ensure the provision of adequate light, air, and public safety. B. Application. These regulations apply to any type of visible or tangible obstruction that has the effect of forming a physical or visual barrier between properties or between property lines and the public right-of-way, including but not limited to: any type of artificially constructed barriers of wood, metal, or concrete posts connected by boards, rails, panels, wire or mesh, and any type of natural growth such as hedges and screen plantings. C. Standards for Fences Located within Required Setbacks. Fences, walls or hedges may be placed within required setbacks, provided they do not exceed maximum height limitations and comply with the following standards: 2082 Fixlini May 13, 2021 Page 2 1. Fence Height within Front Setback. The maximum height of a fence, wall, or hedge shall not exceed six feet; except within any front setback, the maximum fence, wall, or hedge height shall be as shown in Figure 3-3: Fence, Wall, and Hedge Height in Front Setbacks. See also Section 17.70.210 (Vision Clearance Triangle at Intersections). Figure 3-3. Fence, Wall, and Hedge Maximum Height in Front Setbacks 2. Corner Lots Fence Height within Street Side Setbacks. On corner lots, the maximum height of a fence, wall, or hedge shall not exceed six feet; except within any street side setback, the maximum fence, wall, or hedge height shall be as shown in Figure 3-4: Fence, Wall, and Hedge Height in Street Side Setbacks (Corner Lots). See also Section 17.70.210 (Vision Clearance Triangle at Intersections). Figure 3-4. Fence, Wall, and Hedge Maximum Height in Street Side Setbacks (Corner Lots) 2082 Fixlini May 13, 2021 Page 3 3. Driveway Gates. In the R-1 zone, gates across driveways shall be set back a minimum of ten feet behind the property line. In all other zones, gates across driveways shall allow for adequate space to queue vehicles entering the property. 4. Interior Side and Rear Setback Height. The maximum height of a fence, wall, or hedge in any interior side or rear setback shall be six feet. Corrective Action: The aforementioned fencing shall be relocated to the allowed setback for its current height, or the height reduced in its current location to comply with the above code section. The fencing at the front of the property is currently 9’4” (112 inches) from the property line which allows for the fence to stand at a height of 4ft 4 in (52.8 inches). The fencing on the side of the property is over 10 feet from the property which allows for the fence to stand at a height of 6ft (72 inches). Alternatively, you may contact the city Planning Department located at 919 Palm Street or at (805)781-7170 to determine if an exception to the fence height regulations is appropriate in your situation. 2. A steel beam has been anchored at the top of both creek banks and erected to span the entire width of the creek channel to support fencing. Per Creek Setback Regulations, the beam and associated fencing is not allowed to extend beyond the top of bank into the creek channel. San Luis Obispo Municipal Code § 17.70.030(G): Creek Setbacks 1. Accessory Structures and Uses. The following items may be located within the required creek setback without obtaining a discretionary exception unless otherwise noted; provided, that they do not extend beyond the top of bank into the creek channel; will not cause the removal of native riparian vegetation; will not reduce any flooding capacity in compliance with the city’s flood damage prevention regulations; in total occupy not more than one-half of the total required creek setback area; and are consistent with other property development standards of the zoning regulations. a. Walls or fences; provided, that in combination with buildings they enclose not more than one-half of the setback area on any development site. Corrective Action: Please remove the steel beam and all fencing that extends into the creek channel. You may contact the city Planning Department located at 919 Palm Street or at (805)781-7170 regarding creek setback regulations. A COPY OF THIS NOTICE MUST BE ATTACHED TO ALL APPLICATIONS FOR A PERMIT. ALL REQUIRED WORK MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE.

I opted to respond via email as it helps to keep a record of our discussion as we move forward. I have included planner, Kyle Bell on this email who will most likely chime in regarding the more detailed planning aspects and if any exceptions to fence height/setbacks may be supported. Regarding the fence height issue, I assume your statement that the “fence height was deemed a non-issue” is in reference to the approval from Bob Hill to allow a fence along the property line within the open space area. This approval does not grant a fence to be constructed in violation of the City’s fence height regulations. In fact, the plans that were submitted to Bob for review (see attached) show a fence that stands 6 feet in height. While the current fence along Johnson is 20 feet from the property line, it is over the allowed 6 foot height limit. Your statement that “the front setback is not deemed to apply until we are beyond the drainage area” is incorrect. There is no approval for a reduced setback for this property so any fencing is required to be compliant with the City’s setback and fence height regulations. The conditions listed in the architectural review approval and the approved building plans both very clearly state the height of any fencing is not to exceed the maximum height allowed by the City’s fence height regulations. Additionally, the attached plans submitted to Bob Hill and the building plans show the required setbacks and a 3’6” high fence at the front of the property. Regarding the pipe/beam spanning the creek, the City’s creek setback regulations are clear in stating the that no fencing shall extend beyond the top of the creek channel. I would also note that the alternative you mention of placing a six foot fence at the property line is not allowed as well. Your options moving forward are to remove the pipe/all fencing from the creek channel and reduce the fence heights to comply with current city zoning regulations OR pursue exceptions via the planning department. You should have a discussion with planning to determine what exceptions may be supported before submitting any applications. The current compliance date is June 12, 2021. I will be performing a reinspection after that date to determine compliance. If the violations have not been brought into compliance or applications for exception have not been received by that date, the case will move to administrative citations. Let me know if you have any questions.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hello John, I am in receipt of your Courtesy Letter regarding potential code violations. I have been advised that these issues have been reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department and are not considered code violations. The pipe over culvert was deemed to be the best approach for spanning that area of the culvert as an alternative to installing a 6ft tall fence along the property line at back of sidewalk . The fence height concern was deemed an non issue with the understanding that the fence is not located within the “Vision Clearance Triangle” and as a corner lot, the front setback is not deemed to apply until we are beyond the drainage area which effectively occurs on the uphill side of the first curb cut / driveway apron. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further with you to gain clarity over these elements of the project. Please call me to discuss. Thank you. 805‐234‐6233 best regards, Paul J.

WARNING: This message is from an external source. Verify the sender and exercise caution when clicking links or opening attachments. Greetings Lt. Gil, I have a code enforcement case at 2082 Fixlini St, San Luis Obispo. The case is related to an “I” beam spanning a creek in which the property owner had planned to build his fence on. Also, the property owner had deposited some rip rap in the creek on the banks. A warden responded to the issue some time ago, but I have picked up the case since then and am trying to resolve the fence code issue. Is Fish and Wildlife pursuing any enforcement/streambed alterations or was it determined to not be a violation? Is there a warden on your team that is assigned to the city of SLO that I should contact?

Planning ApplicationJohn Mezzapesa 8/19/21 10/18/2022 NB - Owne Goode and I met with Erica Abbott at the front counter to discuss direction moving forward with the fence. I explained that the beam that spans the creek needs to be cleared by Fish and Wildlife if they intend to move forward with the original plan. If it is not cleared by fish and wildlife, they can move forward with the setback exception and build the fence at the sidewalk. MeetingNick Buckley 10/18/22 - Erica Abbott 10/31/2022 10-31-22 NB - Email to DFW regarding update. 11/1/22 NB - DFW Lt.

CorrespondenceNick Buckley Email to DFW 03/14/2024 NB - Planning application for fence height exception was approved. I also inspected the fence and did not find any discrepancies between the site plan of the fence height exception and the fence on site. Case can be closed as there is no further action to take at this time. ResearchNick Buckley 3/14/24 Page 1 of 1City of San Luis ObispoMay 24, 2024
