Sec. 656.402. - Residential districts.

In addition to other provisions of the Zoning Code, the following supplementary regulations shall apply to all residential districts: (a) Unless otherwise specifically permitted by the Zoning Code, no person shall sell or conduct the sale of household or personal property, not including animals, in a residential district for more than ten days during a calendar year. For the purposes of this Section, an advertisement or announcement pre-offering of the sales placed in a medium for more than ten days during a calendar year shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this Section. Not more than two motor vehicles or boats may be sold from the premises during a 12-month period. (b) Notwithstanding other provisions of the Zoning Code, fences, walls and hedges may be permitted in a required yard; provided, however, that no fence or wall in excess of eight feet in height shall be permitted in a residential district; and provided further, that no fence in excess of four feet in height shall be permitted in a required front yard in a residential district except that a fence up to eight feet in height may be allowed in one required front yard of a lot with more than one front yard if such fence is approved as part of the site plan or sketch plan approval pursuant to Section 656.404 or Chapter 654 (Subdivision Regulations). Notwithstanding, a fence up to six feet in height shall be allowed in one required front yard of a corner lot if such fence is along a street, road or roadway classified as a collector or higher, and provided that the principal structure is facing a street, road or roadway that is not classified as a collector or higher. Such fence shall not be located forward of the front plane of the principal structure as further illustrated below in Figure A. Further, for single family use lots located in the Rural Residential (RR-Acre) zoning district, a fence up to six feet in height shall be allowed in the required front yard so long as there is a residential subdivision on the adjacent property with a fence at least six feet in height, approved through the site plan or sketch plan approval process, along the same right-of-way functioning as a collector road or higher. This provision shall not be construed to supersede the requirements of Chapter 804 and, in the case of conflict, the more restrictive requirement shall apply. The height of a fence shall be measured from the existing grade to the top of the fence, excluding pilasters or other architectural features, on the property owner's side of the fence.
