Over-height Fence/ Wall Certification Required  
Please note:  The Sustainability Update code changes were implemented on 3/18/2024, some of which are beneficial to the proposed design.  For Zoning purposes, the required front setback for the parcel is reduced to 20' (rather than 40') from the property boundary.  
Further, the fence and wall regulations have also been updated.  The height of the fences, walls, and gates may not exceed 36" within 20' measured from the traveled roadway.  The over-height fence and wall requirements will still apply to the fence and gates at the front property boundary, therefore, approval of an over-height fence certification is still required.

OH Fence/ wall application may be submitted via the ePlan Portal. Discretionary applications may be submitted via the ePlan portal.  Electronic plan sets (.pdf) will be required.
