Redondo Beach Municipal Code 10-2.1524 requires every swimming pool and hot tub to be entirely enclosed by buildings, fences, or walls not less than six feet nor more than eight feet high, fitted with self-latching gates whose latches sit at least four feet above the ground.
RBMC 10-2.1524 (Fences, hedges, walls, and obstructions in all zones) provides that swimming pools and hot tubs shall be entirely enclosed by buildings, fences, or walls not less than six feet nor more than eight feet in height, and that such fences shall be equipped with self-latching gates with the latches not less than four feet above the ground. This local barrier rule works alongside the statewide pool-barrier standards in the California Building Code and the Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health & Safety Code 115923), enforced at plan check. The same section sets general fence limits: no fence, hedge, or wall over forty-two inches high is allowed in any required front or exterior side setback, and none greater than six
Operating a pool without a compliant six-to-eight-foot enclosure and self-latching gate is a code violation. Code Enforcement may require abatement, issue citations, and withhold final inspection signoff until the barrier is brought into compliance.
