Upon investigation of the reported area, staff observed a line of barbed wire atop the fencing. NOV will be issued.
Other: Along the north edge of property where the alley intersects Grant and under the junipers, there is an old, metal fence with a single stretch of barbed wire at the top. This is alongside a public alley, so the barbed wire should not be there, as per City Code 14.36.030 - "Barbed wire fences". It would suffice if the offending wire were removed.

I will check with Engineering regarding the location and update accordingly.
Hi Jennifer, I am unsure if this case would go to you or to Engineering. The use of barbed wire is mostly prohibited in the UDO, but it's unclear to me the location (if it's on private property or within the public alley). I think if it's within the public alley, it would go to Engineering. Thank you in advance for resolving this!
Beth - I believe this would be a UDO enforcement issue?
