Capetonians will finally have their say in the City of Cape Town's much-debated Integrated Zoning Scheme, which proposes to bar all adult-related businesses from residential and business areas.
...Meanwhile, the city's boundary walls and fences project is also one step closer to becoming drafted as a bylaw, as it is expected to be handed over to the mayoral committee soon for a first draft to be drawn up.
The policy restricts city residents from erecting solid boundary walls higher than 1.8m, or 2.1m for palisade fencing. With fixtures, a wall can be as high as 2.4m, but consent has to be granted by the neighbours. A maximum height of 450mm of electric fencing is allowed, but razor or barbed wire and glass shards are not permitted in residential areas.
