Fences Within Front Yard Setback in the M-2 Heavy Industrial Zone: Fences in the front yard setback in the M-2 heavy industrial zone are allowed up to six feet in height. Corner properties zoned M-2 heavy industrial zone may have a fence up to six feet within a portion of the front yard setback, provided said fence is at least ten feet back from the front property line, maintaining a clear vision area to adjoining streets. C. Corner Lots: Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any corner lot, no such fence, hedge or screen planting shall exceed three feet in height within thirty-five feet from the property corner adjacent to the intersecting streets. The owner of such property may apply for a minor conditional use permit for a greater height by a showing that no hazard exists to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Such conditional use permit may be granted by the planning commission provided all provisions of this code are otherwise satisfied and, the director of public works, and the chief of police concur that no safety hazard is created by the greater height. In the event the planning commission denies the application, the applicant may file an appeal with the city council, in accordance with Yreka Municipal Code Section 16.14.030 . D. Decorative columns, post caps or similar features not more than one foot in height may be added on top of fences or walls. Such features should typically not be less than eight feet apart, and must be consistent with the design and materials of the fence or wall. E. Fences or walls in the side or rear yards may not exceed six feet in height, except to allow up to two feet of lattice and framing that is at least fifty percent open to the passage of light and air when viewed horizontally. (This does not apply to the front yard setback area.) F. Historic District: Fences within the historic district must meet the requirements of the historic district; a separate historic district permit is required. Wire or chainlike fences are prohibited. Construction material shall be predominantly wood with a very few wrought iron picket posts. See historic district rules and regulations for specific details. G. Schools and other government owned property shall be exempt from the fence height restriction in the front yard setback. H. Maintenance. No fence is allowed to become or remain in a condition of disrepair including, but not limited to noticeable leaning, missing slats, broken supports, and overgrowth of weeds or vines. I. In no instance shall a fence extend beyond the property line. (Ord. 775 (part), 2004). (Ord. No.
