At the last meeting of the Yucca Valley Planning Commission (April 27), commissioners were asked to weigh in on whether town residents could erect 6-foot fences in the front yard, as long as the top two-feet didn’t block visibility. Managing editor Tami Roleff has more information…
The Yucca Valley Planning Commission were shown a photo of a fence in the town where the bottom four feet were corrugated metal and the top two feet were wood slats. The town’s development code allows six-foot fences in front yards if the fence does not impair visibility but it doesn’t cover such situations of a fence with mixed materials. Commissioners agreed that the fence in question probably doesn’t meet the intent of the code. Town staff agreed to research other cities and take photos for the commission to review at a future date.
In other business, the commission agreed that barbed wire on top of a fence in an industrial zone was OK.
