The 1st draft of proposed updates to the Fences, Signs & Hedges chapter of the AMC is available for public review on the City's Development Regulation Update project webpage. Look under "1st Draft Documents" heading.
The proposed new and updated regulations are part of the overall development regulations update project, and help to implement the 2016 Anacortes Comprehensive Plan. Safety, security and aesthetics are guiding principles throughout the chapter updates. A primary goal of the draft regulations is to encourage a more attractive and walkable environment, and provide more guidance in the design and approval of fence/wall designs for homeowners, developers, and staff, especially in residential areas.
Please take a look, and let us know what you think! Please send your feedback to Libby Grage, Planning Manager, PCED, libbyb@cityofanacortes.org.
