Case 5.1421 ZTA
foot high safety enclosure around swimming pools. However, this requirement was
recently changed with the adoption of the 2016 Code, and a five-foot barrier is now
required. Because many residential swimming pools in Palm Springs are located in front
yard areas, this modified height requirement creates difficulties where the front perimeter
wall also serves as the swimming pool safety enclosure.
In order to comply with the additional height requirement, property owners would be
required to file a Variance application to allow the additional wall height, or move the
location of the perimeter wall. As a means to correct this issue, it is proposed that PSZC
Section 93.02.00 be amended to include an exception to the wall height requirements for
swimming pool safety enclosures. Wall height at the property line in the front yard setback
area could be increased from 4.5 feet to five feet where necessary as a safety enclosure
for swimming pools, and would be approved administratively by staff as part of the
building permit review process. This proposed exception would only be applicable where
required in front yard areas for swimming pool safety enclosures; in all other situations,
perimeter walls would be required to conform to the standard height limits as are currently
in place.
The amendment to allow the exception for swimming pool safety enclosures is proposed
as follows:
Section 93.02.00— Walls, fences and landscaping.
B. Security Fencing.
Security fencing includinq swimming pool safety enclosure fencing,
as required by any governmental agency of jurisdiction shall be
permitted, notwithstanding any other provision of this Zoning Code.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
The proposed Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) pursuant to Section 15060(c)(2) of the State
Guidelines, because the Ordinance is directly related to ministerial actions, will not result
in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and is
not a "project' as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the State Guidelines.

Subject: Comment on Item 2B.City Council meeting July 19 2017
1 would like to comment on Item 2B. A proposed increase in height allowed to 5 feet is not sufficient for those residents
that have swimming pools located their front yards. A five foot fence may provide a deterrent for preventing children
from accessing the pool area but it is not sufficient to provide privacy and security for the homeowner. Might I suggest
allowing a 6 foot barrier for residences that have swimming pools located in the front yard. Given the increased
problems with transients and property theft in the City of Palm Springs an increase in allowable height seems to be
reasonable.
