Yorba Linda regulates fence height, location, and materials by zone in YLMC 18.10.130 and requires a corner cut-off sight-distance triangle to be kept clear of fences at street and driveway intersections.
YLMC 18.10.130 governs wall and fence requirements in residential zones, setting front-yard height at 36 inches directly in front of the dwelling, wrought iron up to five feet in other front-yard portions, and six feet on side and rear property lines (nine feet toward the subject property). A corner cut-off area must be provided at the intersection of all streets and driveways with a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, as a triangle kept free of obstructions, fences, and trash containers so traffic sight distance is maintained. Keeping of equine and cleft-hoofed animals is allowed in R-A, RLD, and R-E zones on lots 15,000 square feet and larger, with barns and stables at least 50 feet from any dwelling.
Fences that block the required corner sight-distance triangle or violate height standards are code violations subject to correction and enforcement.
