Davis Municipal Code 40.27.060 sets fence height and placement rules including a corner-lot sight-visibility triangle where fences over three feet are prohibited near street intersections.
DMC 40.27.060 establishes the core fence requirements in Davis. Fences, walls, and hedges may reach seven feet behind the required front yard setback, four feet in any required yard, and six feet at the ten-foot (interior lot) or fifteen-foot (corner lot) front setback. On a corner lot, a fence, wall, or hedge over three feet in height, measured from the curb gutter grade, may not be located in a triangular area measured twenty-five feet along the inside face of the sidewalk in each direction from the sidewalk intersection; where no sidewalk exists, the measurement is taken along the right-of-way line. This sight-visibility triangle protects driver and pedestrian visibility at intersections. Modifications to the maximum height may be granted but may
Fences violating the corner-lot sight triangle or placement standards are enforced by Davis code enforcement and may require lowering or removal to restore visibility.
