SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On November 5, 2020, the Board considered and subsequently continued this item to November 17, 2020 with direction for staff to research how the County might reimburse the property owner certain costs associated with building and/or rebuilding their non-conforming fence, which was constructed upon reliance on a County permit. Staff reached out to the property owner immediately after the November 5th hearing to obtain costs for the previously constructed fence and estimates for rebuilding the fence in conformance with the Spreckels Design Guidelines. The information was not received in time to complete a staff report for the November 17th meeting, so it was continued once again to January 12th, 2020.

Therefore, staff recommends continuing this item to February 2, 2021, contingent upon timely receipt of the requested information.
