Sanger Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-07 · Sanger
The following property development standards for fences, hedges and walls shall apply to all land, buildings and structures in all districts:
(1)
Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the requirements established for security fencing by local, state or federal law, or by safety requirements of the Sanger Unified School District. The regulations as set forth in each district shall apply, and the following shall be in addition to those regulations.
(2)
A fence or wall shall be required along the perimeter of all areas dangerous to the public health and safety.
(3)
Corner cut-off areas. The following regulations shall apply at all intersections of streets, alleys, or private driveways in order to provide adequate visibility for vehicular traffic. There shall be no visual obstruction within the cut-off areas established herein.
a.
There shall be a corner cut-off area at all intersecting streets or highways. The cut-off line shall be in a horizontal plane, making an angle of 45 degrees, with the side, front or rear property line, as the case may be. It shall pass through the points located on both the side and front or rear property lines at a distance of 30 feet from the intersection of such lines or their projections at the corner.
b.
There shall be a corner cut-off area on each side of any private driveway intersecting a street or alley. The cut-off lines shall be in a horizontal plane, making an angle of 45 degrees with the side, front or rear property line, as the case may be. They shall pass through a point not less than ten feet from the edges of the driveway where it intersects the street or alley right-of-way.
c.
There shall be a corner cut-off area on each side of any alley intersecting a street or alley. The cut-off lines shall be in a horizontal plane, making an angle of 45 degrees with the side, front or rear property line, as the case may be. They shall pass through a point not less than ten feet from the edges of the alley where it intersects the street or alley right-of-way.
d.
Where, due to an irregular lot shape, a line at a 45-degree angle does not provide for intersection visibility, the corner cut-off shall be defined by a line drawn from a point on the front or rear property line that is not less than 30 feet from the intersection of the side and front or rear property lines and through a point on the side property line that is not less than 30 feet from the intersection of the side and front or rear property lines.
(4)
Permanent trash enclosures and/or areas of container storage out of public view shall be required and reviewed for specific requirements for all multiple-family developments of three units or greater and all
commercial and industrial uses.
(5)
The use of any barbed, concertina or razor wire is generally prohibited. However, for security purposes the use of these products within commercial and industrial zones may be considered on a case-by-case basis pursuant to the site plan review provisions contained in section 90-1009. Permission to use any of these products shall not run with the land, and shall be subject to additional review upon the change of use, sale, rental, or any other change of occupancy or operations. If not subject to site plan review, then a director's review permit shall be required for review of any barbed, concertina, or razor wire fencing that is proposed. The following minimum standards for barbed, concertina, or razor wire shall be required during the review:
a.
Barbed, concertina, or razor wire may not extend over the property line;
b.
The barbed, concertina, or razor wire shall not exceed two feet in height;
c.
All barbed, concertina, or razor wire shall be located a minimum of six feet above the ground level when measured from both sides of the fence.
(Ord. No. 731, § 7, 8-2-83; Ord. No. 777, § 2, 4-15-86; Ord. No. 847, 6-6-91; Ord. No. 860, § 2, 12-5-91; Ord. No. 950, § 21, 5-16-96; Ord. No. 1056, § 1, 10-21-04; Ord. No. 1141, § 1, 7-18-13, ef. 8-18-13)
Sec. 90-884. - Off-street parking in all districts.
The following standards for providing off-street parking in all districts shall apply at the time of the erection of any main building or when off-street parking is established. These standards shall also be complied with when an existing building is altered or enlarged by the addition of dwelling units or guest rooms, or where the use is intensified by the addition of floor space, seating capacity, seats or changed to a use requiring greater parking.
(1)
Off-street automobile parking spaces maintained in connection with any existing main building or structure shall be maintained so long as the main building or structure remains, unless an equivalent number of substitute spaces are provided and thereafter maintained in conformity with the requirements of this section; provided, however, that this regulation shall not require the maintenance of more automobile parking spaces than are required herein for a new building or structure, nor the maintenance of such spaces for any type of main building or structure other than those specified herein.
(2)
No parking area or space provided in compliance with this chapter shall be relinquished, reduced or altered below the requirements established herein, unless equivalent parking facilities are provided elsewhere, the
location of which is approved by the commission, following the procedures set forth in sections 90-991 through 90-993.
(3)
Where automobile parking spaces were provided and maintained on a lot in connection with a main building or structure prior to August 2, 1983, and such spaces are insufficient to meet the requirements for the use with which they are associated, or where no parking has been provided, then the building or structure may be altered or enlarged, or such use may be expanded, only if additional automobile parking spaces are provided for the enlargement, expansion or addition, in compliance with the standards for such proposed use, as set forth in this chapter; provided, however, that in cases where a change in use creates a need for an increase of two or less off-street parking spaces, no additional parking spaces shall be required. No existing parking may be counted as meeting this requirement unless it exceeds the requirement for the original structure, and then only the excess portion may be counted.
(4)
All motor vehicles incapable of movement under their own power, other than in cases of emergency, shall, in all residential districts, be stored in an entirely enclosed building.
(Ord. No. 731, § 7, 8-2-83; Ord. No. 777, § 2, 4-15-86; Ord. No. 847, 6-6-91; Ord. No. 860, § 2, 12-5-91; Ord. No. 950, § 22, 5-16-96)
Sec. 90-885. - Residential requirements for off-street parking.
The following property development standards for residential off-street parking shall apply to all land, buildings and structures in all districts:
(1)
General. The parking spaces required for residential uses shall be located on the same lot as the main building which they are intended to serve, and shall be located to the rear of the required front yard. They shall be maintained in a usable condition and shall not interfere with access to the property.
(2)
Residential dwellings. There shall be at least two parking spaces for single-family dwelling units other than mobile homes located in the T-P district per the requirements of section 90-505. For all other types of residential uses, the following minimum number of parking spaces shall be provided for each of the following units:
a.
Studios and one-bedroom unit: 1.0 parking space;
