Chain link fence relocation for road widening approved
The Nampa City Council approved a variance letting an existing chain link fence be reinstalled at new property lines as the city widens the road, with some landscaping and front setback requirements reduced. The decision was made Apr. 6.
From the filing
The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record
The City of Nampa asks for a variance so that about 1,500 feet of existing 6-foot chain link fence can be reinstalled at the new property line along Northside Blvd near Karcher Rd and Birch Ln. The road is being widened to 5 lanes, and the variance would waive the rules against chain link, the 15-foot landscape buffer, and the front yard setback for the affected industrial properties.
ROW expansion on Northside Blvd has caused a need to move an existing chain link fence, to allow for the chain link fence to be permitted along the Northside Blvd ROW and within the required front setback.
