Greeley requires fences and walls to be consistent in character, materials, and appearance with the home's architecture, with the finished side facing outward and no sight obstructions at corners. Weld County imposes no such design standard on unincorporated land.
Greeley Development Code Sec. 24-502 sets general design standards for residential fences: they "shall be consistent in character, materials and appearance with the architecture of the principal building on the same lot," the finished side must face adjacent property or public areas, and fences must comply with corner and driveway sight-distance requirements so they don't obstruct driver visibility. Longer perimeter fences within 30 feet of a collector or arterial street must be softened with landscaping and broken up with offsets, ornamental sections, or masonry pillars. Weld County's Chapter 23 Zoning excludes fences, so unincorporated properties have no county design requirement beyond building-code and screening rules for specific uses like junkyards.
Greeley may require alteration of a non-conforming fence that fails design, finished-side, or sight-distance standards. County enforcement applies only to screening required for specific zoning uses.
