Fence Use Permit

The project involves a Fence Use Permit (UPE25-0008) for the construction of a 5-foot high horizontal metal slat gate and fence on a 0.54-acre parcel located at 650 Donald St, Sonoma, California 95476. The installation will extend 25 feet back from the front property line, placing it within both the front property line and street centerline setbacks. The project is consistent with the Sonoma County General Plan and the UR-1 land use designation for low-density residential uses. Under Zoning Code Section 26-88-030(a), fences exceeding 3 feet in height within front yard setbacks are permitted via a Use Permit in the R1 Low Density Residential District. The project is administered by the Sonoma County Permit and Resource Management Department, with Levan King Cranston serving as the Project Planner. It has been granted a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303(e) as a small accessory structure. The application was submitted by Mark Edwin Miller and Andrea Silver Miller, with project approval noted on June 29, 2025, and a notice of exemption posted on July 24, 2025. This is an administrative permit process rather than a competitive procurement, and as such, it contains no federal acquisition regulations or standard contract award clauses.
