Clarification on Cativina perimeter walls (Case Nos. GPA 05-03, C/Z
05-04, PP 05-25 and TT 33719)
In reference to the question regarding the perimeter walls surrounding the residential
project on Portola Avenue, the walls are designed with offsets that vary between 4 feet
and 13 feet (see attached exhibit). Wrought iron fencing was proposed as the fence
connection material between the offsets. There is concern that wrought iron fencing will
not mitigate noise from the traffic along Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive.
Although appropriate for golf course development, wrought iron is not appropriate for
residential projects adjacent to a major thoroughfare. The offsets can be designed with
masonry instead of wrought iron fencing for noise mitigation while providing a high
quality decorative perimeter wall along Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra.
