Full Breakdown
Casa Grande Municipal Code § 17.52.160 caps fences and walls in residentially zoned areas at six feet in height overall. Within a required front yard, no fence or wall may have a supporting member measuring more than thirty-six inches, under subsection (A). Subsection (B) requires side-yard fences, walls or hedges that run parallel to the front line of a building or mobile home to be set back at least five feet from that front line. Subsection (C) protects sightlines on corner lots: no fence or planting over thirty inches above the street centerline grade is allowed within a triangular area running forty feet along each of two intersecting curb lines from their intersection, and a similar triangle applies at every driveway or alley intersection with a street, measured fifteen feet along the right-of-way on each side of the driveway or alley centerline plus ten feet out from the right-of-way.
Subsection (D) requires an enclosed yard to keep a gate or collapsible section at least three feet wide for ingress, and subsection (E) allows corner side yard fences up to six feet, provided the fence is not adjacent to a neighboring front yard. Business and industrial district fences follow a separate ten-foot cap under § 17.52.170.
