Any person who is denied a permit for the construction of a fence by the Zoning Inspector in any Residential or Multi-Family District may appeal to the Planning Commission. If the Planning Commission finds that the proposed fence is substantially in accordance with the requirements described in this chapter notwithstanding insubstantial variances therefrom, and determines that the fence will not in any way be inconsistent with the safety of pedestrians, vehicular traffic and persons normally coming into the area in proximity to such fence; will not impair light or the movement of air in a manner tending to cause an unhealthy condition; will not adversely affect the reasonable use of abutting properties; or will adequately screen the operations on the property of the applicant from the abutting properties in the event that such shall be necessary to the normal enjoyment of the abutting property, the Planning Commission may reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from and shall make the order, requirement, decision or determination as in its opinion should be made under the circumstances and to that end shall have all the powers of the Zoning Inspector from whose decision the appeal was taken.
