Restrictions within Sight Visibility Triangles

(a)Within the sight visibility triangle, the planting of trees or other vegetation, or the construction of structures such as fences, walls, or signs over 2.5 feet in height that would obstruct the clear sight across the area of the visibility triangle is prohibited.
(b)The City shall have the authority to remove any object or vegetation that obstructs the clear sight.
(c)The Governing Body or Planning and Appeals Board may approve, or may direct as a condition of approval, fences or plantings taller than allowed by this Chapter to provide screening between different uses upon agreement between the affected parties. No such approval may have the effect of reducing sight visibility required by this ULDC.
