Rosenberg requires multi-family developments to install eight-foot decorative masonry walls and limits commercial perimeter property line fences to chain link, wrought iron, or wood panels.
Under UDC Sec. 1-253 (Screening), every multi-family dwelling development must build an eight-foot decorative masonry wall on its sides and rear, with at least seventy-five percent of exterior building walls in masonry. Smooth face concrete masonry blocks are not accepted as a 'similar' material. Commercial design standards require property line fencing of chain link, wrought iron, or wood panels with an opaque fence required where the site abuts residential or a swimming pool (UDC Sec. 1-477 area). Replacement fence portions must use materials comparable to the existing fence (Sec. 1-481).
Using prohibited materials such as smooth face concrete block on a multi-family screening wall, or substituting non-comparable materials when repairing a fence, can result in code enforcement notices and required removal or replacement.
