San Leandro requires a clear sight triangle at corner lots: no fence, hedge, or structure over 3 feet tall within 25 feet of the curb intersection.
To protect driver and pedestrian visibility, San Leandro Zoning Code mandates a clear sight triangle at all corner lots and driveway intersections. Within the triangle (typically 25 feet along each curb line from the corner for street-to-street, 10 feet for driveway-to-street), no fence, wall, hedge, sign, or tree canopy below 8 feet may exceed 3 feet in height above the adjacent curb. Public Works enforces in coordination with Code Enforcement and can require trimming or removal.
Notice to abate within 10 days; failure to comply brings administrative fines starting at 100 dollars plus city abatement lien.
