12.11.2 Walls or Fences. Where required, screening walls or fences shall not be less than six (6) feet in height, unless approved by the City Council after recommendation of the Planning Commission as part of Site Plan review. Masonry is the suggested type of fence. Such wall, fence and landscaping shall be maintained in good condition with no advertising thereon.

12.12 General Fencing Provisions.
The following fencing provisions shall be adhered to:

12.12.1 Property Lines. Property owners should only install fencing on their property. If the property lines are not clearly marked the property owner shall have a surveyor determine and mark the property lines.
12.12.2 Residential Fence Height. No residential sight-obscuring fence shall be higher than four feet between the front wall of the home and the street. Residential fencing cannot exceed six feet in height.

12.12.4 Residential Alley Fencing. Fences along alleys or residential service drives may be no higher than six feet and must follow the clear vision triangle regulations (See diagram 12.3).
12.12.7 Miscellaneous Properties/Uses. Fencing height and setbacks for other uses shall be determined by the Planning Director based on compatibility with the neighborhood and adjacent uses. Security fencing for public facilities, such as power substations, may exceed height and material restrictions, based on compatibility and safety.
12.12.8 Fencing Along Streets. Any sight-obscuring fence taller than four feet (4’) must be set back a minimum of three feet (3’) from the sidewalk. This three-foot strip shall contain trees, shrubs, or other groundcover. All landscaping shall be maintained by the property owner. Fencing that is four feet (4’) or shorter may be placed on the property line. See section 12.13 for chain link fencing regulations.
12.12.9 Public View. Finished side slats shall be on the street side or public view side of the fence railing.
12.12.10 Fire Hydrants & Utility Boxes. Fire hydrants and utility boxes shall not be fenced into a yard. A three (3) foot clear space shall be maintained around the circumference of all fire hydrants and utility boxes. Some utility boxes are not visible above ground. Blue Stakes should always be contacted and appropriate staking/marking should occur prior to installing a fence.
12.12.13 Public Utility Easement. Fencing may be installed over a public utility easement, but retaining walls shall not.
12.12.14 Meters. Fencing shall not obstruct access to gas and electric meters. If meters are in a fenced area there must be an unlocked entrance to access these meters.
12.12.15 Clear Vision Triangles. All clear vision triangles as described in this Chapter shall be preserved. The Alley Fencing Diagram also gives additional information for maintaining the clear vision triangles with fencing. All property owners shall maintain a clear vision triangle for neighboring driveways as depicted in Diagram 12.2 Fencing.
12.12.17 Additional Restrictions. Many of the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s) recorded with property contain restrictions on fencing. Property owners shall refer to these standards and discuss the proposed fencing with appropriate Architectural Review Committee, as applicable, prior to installation.

12.13.6 Fencing may not obstruct traffic visibility on corner lots.

12.13.7 Fences must meet all other standards for fence construction in the Development Code.

12.14 Clear Vision Triangle.
Clear lines of sight shall be provided at intersections by delineating triangular areas adjacent to all intersections, within which no parking, building, structure, berming, or landscaping over three (3) feet in height above the street shall be permitted. Single-trunk trees may be planted within such areas, but only where the tree will be pruned to eliminate all branches and foliage below eight (8) feet. Driveways are prohibited within the clear vision triangle of local streets unless there is no other feasible placement of a driveway on a lot. Clear Vision Triangles may not be required if an approved chain link or other non-sight-obscuring fence is used. The size of the clear vision triangles shall be as follows:

12.14.1 Local Streets. At intersections of local streets the triangle shall be defined by drawing a line between two (2) points that are thirty (30) feet from the intersection. See Diagram 12.1- Clear Vision Triangle.
12.14.2 Alleys or Driveways and Local Streets. At intersections of alleys or driveways (this includes private driveways) and local streets: the triangle shall be defined by drawing a line between two (2) points that are fifteen (15) feet from the intersection along the lot lines (along alleys) or driveways and thirty (30) feet on the street side. See Diagram 12.3- Alleyway Fencing.
12.14.3 Other Streets. Larger clear vision triangles may be required by the City Engineer where local streets enter arterial streets, major collector streets, or parkways.
