It is hereby declared to be the intent of this chapter to regulate the placement of fencing, walls or any combination thereof within the front, side and rear yards of any property within residential zoning districts. This chapter also establishes requirements for installation of fencing in association with commercial uses for the purposes of screening such uses from adjacent residential uses. It is further the purpose of this chapter to maintain clear visibility of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on adjacent streets, alleys and sidewalks that may otherwise be affected by fencing and/or wall locations and heights; to maintain an orderly appearance and reduce any negative impact upon other properties where such fencing or walls are directly visible from and adjacent to public streets; and, therefore, to regulate the location, height and material composition of fences, landscaping and overall general fence characteristics.
