Section
R341 is added as follows:
R341 Construction fencing. For projects completing
substantial construction where the structure does not meet the minimum
habitable requirements in the Health and Safety code, protection shall
be provided for adjoining public and private property to protect from
damage and theft during construction, remodeling, and demolition work.
R341.1 Protection shall be maintained in place
and kept in good order for the entire length of construction.
R341.2 The construction site shall be secured by
temporary chain-linked fencing, with a minimum height of 72 inches;
the chain-link fence is to be made of galvanized steel and must include
a top and bottom rail. The fencing must be adequately anchored to
prevent movement and the effects of wind. No visible gaps in the fencing
are allowed, including in between or underneath panels. Gates must
be sliding or in-swinging and close tightly with no gaps in or around
them.
R341.3 When the construction site is adjacent to
any public right-of-way, the fence adjacent to the right-of-way shall
have a visual/dust barrier or screening. The screen is to be constructed
of green knitted poly-ethylene or canvas securely fixed to the inside
face of the fencing and shall be maintained in a taut condition throughout
the project. No twisted wire is to protrude on the exterior side of
the fence. No tears or rips greater than two inches in any dimension
are permitted. Any screening that is torn or ripped or fencing or
barricades that have been defaced will be replaced at the contractor's
expense within 48 hours.
R341.4 In addition to the required screening, the
temporary chain-link fencing facing a public right-of-way shall be
set back two feet from any property line or sidewalk, if site conditions
allow. All areas visible from the public right-of-way shall be maintained
free of weeds and litter.
R341.5 Construction projects shall include the
following language in their project specifications, conditions of
approval, and/or building permit:
1. Any
construction site or staging area fencing facing a public right-of-way
shall include a sign, securely installed on the fence that is made
of durable and waterproof materials that provide the following information:
the name and emergency contact telephone number of the general contractor
and the City of San Bruno Building Division contact information. The
sign lettering shall be large enough to be read from ten feet away
and the sign shall not extend above the top of the fence.
