Centennial's fence regulations under the Land Development Code establish that residential fences over 6 feet generally require a variance. Front yard fences must be at least 50% open (such as picket, split rail, or wrought iron). Fences within visibility triangles near intersections and driveways are limited to 3 feet to maintain driver sightlines. The finished side of the fence must face outward toward neighboring property. In certain zoning districts (AG, RS, RA, RU, NC, NI), screening fences may reach up to 14 feet when screening above-ground structures greater than 50 square feet. In commercial/industrial districts (CG, BP, I, ED), screening fences may also reach 14 feet with 40% opacity buffer yards.
Non-compliant fences: code violation. Fences in visibility triangles: must be reduced to 3 feet or less.
