Clear Vision Area at Street Intersections:
A Clear Vision Area is required at each intersection. This area is defined by a triangle created by connecting points A, B, and C. Point A is the intersection of the curb face of each street. AC = 45' along the curb face of collector, minor arterial, and principal arterial streets, and AB = 35' along the curb face of sublocal and local streets. No sight-obscuring fence exceeding 3' above the grade of the nearest public street right-of-way line shall be allowed in a Clear Vision Area. See Figure 1 below.

Clear Vision Area at Driveways:
A Clear Vision Area is required at each driveway. This area is defined by a triangle created by connecting points D, E, and F. DF = 25' along the curb face, and DE = 25' along the edge of the driveway. No sight-obscuring fence exceeding 3' above the grade of the nearest public street right-of-way line shall be allowed in a Clear Vision Area. See Figure 1 below.

Front Yard Setback:
The maximum height of a sight-obscuring fence located within the required front yard setback outside of the Clear Vision Area shall be three feet (3'). The maximum height of a nonsight obscuring fence located within the required front yard setback shall be four feet (4'). The required front yard setback is determined by the property's zone, and is measured from the back of the sidewalk, on the side of the property that the front facade of the house faces.

All Other Areas:
The maximum height of a fence on all other areas of the lot is 7'.

Note: Residential fence heights are measured from the sidewalk side or adjacent property outside side of the fence.
