- CText Amendment Application No. P23-01018
- Text Amendment Application No. P23-01018 proposes a mechanism to provide additional security measures to businesses within areas where security fencing is permitted throughout the City of Fresno, many of which already included razor wire fencing, the City of Fresno (Applicant) is proposing Text Amendment P23-01018 which would amend Section 15-2009 Security Fencing of the Fresno Municipal Code to permit razor wire in the following situations: (1) where such fencing is required by any law or regulation of the City, the State of California, the federal government, or other public agency; (2) where used to contain livestock; (3) in Commercial Districts where not visible from any street, highway, public open space, recreation area, or Residential District; (4) in Industrial Districts unless it abuts a Residential District, is located within 100 feet of a Residential District or is located within 100 feet of a park or other public open space, where it is prohibited; (5) Construction Sites as a temporary measure. This update would not only codify the ability for businesses to install razor wire fencing, but would grandfather in those businesses which already included razor wire fencing on their properties into compliance. Prior to installation, property owners are required to apply for a permit with the City.

- DUpdate on Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element
- Update on Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element. California housing element law requires every jurisdiction to prepare and adopt a housing element every 8 years as part of their required general plans. The purpose of the Housing Element is to ensure planning for safe, decent and affordable housing for all city residents. The City of Fresno prepared its own housing element for the current housing element in 2016. At the same time, 13 of Fresno County's 16 jurisdictions, with help from the Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG), prepared a multi-jurisdictional housing element that was very well received by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the state agency responsible for certifying housing elements. The City's Housing Element will need to be updated by December of 2023. FCOG jurisdictions have come together to embark on another multijurisdictional effort, and this time, the City Council directed that the City of Fresno participate in that effort due to cost, time and resource savings, and for the opportunity to collaborate regionally on housing. The Multi-jurisdictional Housing Element update is now underway, and the goal of the presentation is to provide information about the update and prepare the committee to consider the updated Housing Element when it is available for public review/adoption later this year.

Meeting disruption policy

Meetings are conducted so everyone — in the room and watching or calling in remotely — can take part. A person who disrupts a meeting in person may be removed after a warning. Under California SB 707, if a service disruption within the City’s control cuts off the public’s ability to participate remotely, the body takes no further action on agenda items and recesses for at least one hour while staff make a good-faith effort to restore access; the meeting resumes only once remote access is back.
