When any fence belonging to a commercial property, and serving as a boundary between commercial and residential properties, falls into a state of disrepair such as would require repair or replacement of more than fifty percent (50%) of the lineal footage of that portion of the fence which borders residential property, the said portion of the said fence which horders residential property shall be replaced, upon order of the Building Commissioner, with a board-on-board fence of the same height as the old fence, provided, however, that the Building Commissioner may refer the matter to the Planning and Design Commission for its input and recommendation if, in the judgment of the Building Commissioner, a board-on-board fence of the same height as the old fence would not adequately serve the City's interests in buffering the adjoining residential property from the impact of the commercial property; and further provided, however, that the commercial property owner may request that the matter be referred to the Planning and Design Commission for review and recommendation if he or she does not believe that a board-on-board fence of the same height as the old fence is necessary in order to adequately buffer adjoining residential properties from the impact of his or her commercial property. 2010 Replacement
