LDC §14-6-5(B) limits side and rear yard fences to 6 feet. §14-6-5(C) limits front yard fences to 3 feet, except decorative open fences (under 15% opaque) can go up to 6 feet. The director may approve up to 10 feet for unique topographic conditions or screening of outdoor storage.
§14-6-5(C)(1) front-yard limit is 3 ft, but a decorative open fence (≤15% opaque — typically picket or wrought-iron style) can reach 6 ft. §14-6-5(C)(2) lets the director approve a solid 6 ft front-yard fence for unique topography, outdoor-storage screening, or buffering. §14-6-5(B)(1) requires the finished side of side/rear fences to face away from the property. §14-6-5(B)(2) caps side/rear at 6 ft, with director-discretion up to 10 ft for screening. §14-6-5(E) prohibits any fence within the sight-visibility triangle defined in §14-7-2 (typically 20 ft each way from a corner intersection of streets or driveways).
LDC zoning violation: $250 per Sec. 1-22(b)(12). The Sec. 1-22(b)(18) $50 fine specifically targets temporary pool fences. Permit-required without permit is $100 under Sec. 1-22(b)(2). Code-board escalation up to $250/$500/day for unabated violations.
