(a)

Used auto parts business shall be carried on, maintained or conducted entirely inside an enclosed building or on premises entirely enclosed (except gates or doors for ingress or egress) by a masonry wall or a wooden fence, or a metal faced fence or a woven wire fence, at least eight (8) feet in height, and constructed according to the requirements of the building code of the city and other applicable provisions; provided, that on any part of any such premises along a public highway or street, any fence facing such highway or street shall only be constructed of solid masonry, solid wood or faced with solid metal.

(b)

Where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the requirements for solid fences along highways and streets will result in unnecessary hardship or involve practical difficulties, the board of rules of the department of buildings and safety engineering may, in specific cases, vary or modify the application thereof, imposing such conditions or limitations it finds necessary to promote the public health, safety and general welfare.
