- DText Amendment Application No. P-23-01018 (Razor Wire Text Amendment)
- 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 P-23-01018 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 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. PLANNER: Adrienne Asadoorian

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.
