Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to City Council that no immediate amendment to the zoning ordinance is needed with regard to its recent approval of an ordinance establishing requirements for electric security fences. Rather, an electric security fence that is a component of a permitted outdoor storage, open storage, sales yard or storage yard should be treated as part of a principal permitted use in the appropriate zone districts and be subject to the required minimum setbacks established for each district.

In addition, MPC could be directed to review the issue of outdoor storage in all its forms and fences with all their different requirements and make recommendations for a comprehensive, unified treatment of these uses and structures
