§ 17.06.370. Fences, hedges and walls—Side and rear setbacks, developable areas.

Except as provided in this section, a maximum seventy-two inch high fence, hedge or wall shall be permitted in all rear setbacks, side setbacks and interior developable areas, except as follows:

A.

Any fencing in the side yard facing a street must maintain the same required setback from the street side property line as required of the main building. If such fencing is open (permitting ninety percent light and air to pass through it) such fencing can be placed on the side property line.

B.

In rear and side setbacks, if there is a grade difference greater than thirty-six inches between two adjoining lots, then no solid fencing or wall shall extend more than forty-two inches above the height of the upper building pad. Any fencing which is over forty-two inches above the height of the building pad shall be open (capable of admitting at least ninety percent light and air). (See Figure 17.06.370.)
