Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Yorba Linda public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Kingsbriar Drive Second-Story Addition and Setback Reduction
A homeowner wants to build a second-story addition and needs a smaller side yard setback. Because the new construction is close to a neighbor's house, it requires special review from the Planning Commission.
Electronic Message Board Sign for Messiah Lutheran Church
Messiah Lutheran Church sought approval to install an electronic message board sign on the perimeter wall of a new residential development at Yorba Linda Boulevard and Liverpool Street. Commissioners raised concerns about sign brightness and visual compatibility, voting to continue the item for better renderings.
Proposed Dog Training and Boarding Facility in Residential Area
Neighbors strongly opposed a proposed overnight dog boarding and training business for up to 13 dogs on Sun Hill Drive, citing severe noise, odor, traffic, and safety concerns. Commissioners voted to continue the item to June 24 to review acoustic reports and existing kennel data.
Front Yard Fencing and Hedge Regulations
Commissioners discussed the visual and safety impacts of 6-foot fences and tall hedges blocking off front yards on streets like El Cajon. Staff agreed to agendize the topic for future code interpretation or discussion.
