Eastvale, CA Fence Regulations: Fence Requirements (2026)

The City of Eastvale's fence and wall standards are consolidated in Section 5.3 of the Zoning Code. Core requirements include: height limits by yard from Table 5.3-1 (4 ft front, 6 ft rear/interior side, 6 ft street side, 30 in. in the corner clear-visibility area); height measured as the vertical distance from finished grade at the base to the top edge of the fence material, with grade not to be modified to increase height (Section 5.3-C); and Minor Development Review approval unless the fence is exempt under Section 5.3-A (code-compliant residential privacy fences, retaining walls under 36 inches, and agency- or City-required fences). Section 5.3-E adds special screening requirements: where required between incompatible uses, a screen must be a solid decorative masonry wall (or equivalent) at least 6 feet tall, architecturally treated on both sides, with an adjacent landscape strip; outdoor storage areas must be enclosed by a solid fence or wall at least 6 feet high; and trash/recycling enclosures must be screened by a solid fence at least 4 feet high and kept out of the front and street side yards. Fences and walls must also sit outside any public utility easement except as authorized by the utility. In master-planned Eastvale neighborhoods, HOA design standards frequently dictate a uniform fence/wall appearance, but those private rules layer on top of - and cannot override - the City's zoning requirements.
