Tehama Municipal Code Ch. 17.20 Fences

A. Fences in side and rear yards may not exceed six feet in height.

B. Fences may not exceed four feet in front yard setbacks unless constructed of a material that does not block vision. The four feet requirement applies to the area in front of the house. The remainder of the front yard set backs shall be treated as side yards with fences not to exceed six feet.

C. No fence shall exceed six feet in height unless the council grants a use permit because of unusual circumstances.

D. Private fences shall not enclose city property.

E. The city council may grant use permits, which may be revocable or conditional, for fences that are exceptions to the foregoing. To be granted a use permit, the location, size, design of the proposed fence will be compatible with and will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings or structures, with consideration to be given to harmony in scale, to the harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character, and to any other relevant impact of the proposed use.
