Redondo Beach zoning sets fence heights by setback location but does not assign cost-sharing for boundary fences; a retaining wall on the lot line may be topped only to the height a fence would otherwise be allowed there.
Redondo Beach Municipal Code Section 10-2.1524 regulates fence height by setback rather than by who owns the boundary. Where a retaining wall protecting a cut below grade sits on the line separating two lots, it may be topped by a fence, wall, or hedge only of the same height that would otherwise be permitted at that location if no retaining wall existed. The zoning code does not address cost-sharing or maintenance of a shared boundary fence; those are governed by California's good-neighbor fence law (Civil Code Section 841), which presumes adjoining owners share equally in reasonable costs.
Shared-fence cost disputes are civil matters under state law, not city enforcement; height violations on a boundary fence are enforced by Community Development.
