Building Setbacks & Zoning in San Ramon, CA (2026)

Setback Rules

Corner lots in San Ramon have two street-facing yards, both of which are treated as front yards for setback purposes. Typically the primary front yard retains the full 20-foot setback, while the street-side yard requires a reduced but still substantial setback (often 10–15 feet). Vision clearance triangles at the intersection must remain unobstructed — no fences, landscaping, or structures over 3 feet in height within the sight-distance triangle. Fence height is typically limited on both street-facing sides.
