Fencing
A fence at least six (6) feet in height is required wherever a commercial land use is proposed adjacent to a lot being used for residential purposes. The fence shall be placed along the rear lot line and along the side lot line to the point of the front yard setback of the residential tract or lot, except where the front yard of the commercial lot is used for off-street parking, then the provisions of City Code Chapter, 122 Article X pertaining to off-street parking lots shall apply.
Whenever any land zoned for C-3, C-4 or C-5 commercial use is established so that the rear line abuts a lot or tract in any existing rural estates, single-family, two-family, low density multiple-family residential district, including a residential planned unit development (PUD), then a masonry fence, at least 6 feet, shall be built of opaque material consisting of stone, brick, masonry block or split-faced masonry block.

Construction of the masonry fencing shall have an approved footing and construction plans as approved by the community development department; be required to have all necessary inspections as determined by the chief inspector; and be reinforced to the extent as to not be susceptible to collapse under adverse weather conditions. This may include, but not be limited to, steel reinforcement, concrete reinforcement or other measures to ensure stable conditions and longevity of the fence.
