Yorba Linda caps front-yard fences at 36 inches directly in front of the dwelling, with wrought iron up to five feet elsewhere in the front yard. Side and rear fences may reach six feet.
Under YLMC 18.10.130, a wall or fence in the required front yard directly in front of the dwelling (for a width equal to the zone's minimum lot width) shall not exceed 36 inches; the Community Development Director may allow up to 42 inches for decorative pilasters after Traffic Engineer review. Other front-yard portions may have a wrought iron fence up to five feet, or a combination masonry-and-wrought-iron fence up to five feet where the masonry portion does not exceed three feet. For all locations except the required front yard, the maximum height is six feet measured to finished grade on the face toward an adjacent property, and nine feet on the face toward the subject property.
Front-yard fences exceeding 36 inches without an approved conditional use permit are a zoning violation subject to correction and city enforcement.
