C. Fences and walls shall be constructed of high quality materials, such as brick, stone, masonry fencing, stained cedar wood, and wrought iron. Table 11.9 specifies which types are permitted and prohibited based on the land use: [Table 11.9 - Single-Family Detached Uses (All districts): Wood - Permitted; Chain Link - Prohibited; Wrought Iron - Permitted; Masonry Product - Permitted.] ... B. Front yard fences are permitted on single family lots provided the fence does not exceed three (3) feet in height and is located outside the sight triangle.
Full Breakdown
Section 11.9 of the Unified Development Code governs fence materials citywide. For single-family detached homes in all districts, chain link is prohibited; only wood, wrought iron, and masonry products such as brick, stone, and stained cedar are allowed. Fences cannot exceed six feet, though the Administrator can approve up to seven feet where topography demands it. Front-yard fences on single-family lots are capped at three feet and must stay outside the sight triangle. A continuous fence plane over 100 feet must be broken with stone or brick columns, landscaping, or a change in material. Pflugerville's Development Services Center enforces these standards.
Violations & Fines
A chain-link fence installed on a single-family lot violates Section 11.9 and draws code-compliance action from the Development Services Center; the owner must remove it or replace it with an approved material.
