The city's use tables are images in its PDFs, so they appear nearly empty here. Check the official code for any use table.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Saratoga Springs planning before you rely on it.
This Section outlines provisions that shall govern the heights of screening and fencing for commercial, mixed use, and industrial developments that abut residential zones.
1. For commercial, mixed use, and industrial developments abutting residential zones an opaque fence or wall shall be installed and maintained along lot lines.
2. For residential developments abutting active agricultural property or operations, a solid fence or wall shall be installed and maintained along the abutting property line.
3. The opaque fence shall be a minimum of six feet in height but not more than eight feet. A lower height fence may be required adjacent to a front property line for sight distance and traffic safety (see Section 19.06.08). Walls above six feet shall first be reviewed and approved by the Land Use Authority during site plan review. In determining the specific height of the fence, the following criteria shall be applied:
a. compatibility with fences or walls of surrounding uses;
b. aesthetics of proposed materials;
c. requirements of applicable development agreements;
d. intensity of existing surrounding uses; and
e. applicable conditions of approval
4. Where there is a difference in elevation on opposite sides of the fence, the height of the required fence shall be measured from the highest elevation:
