What do Descanso fences need?
For a backcountry property, map long fence runs, driveway access, changes in terrain, and the purpose of each enclosure. Discuss gate power and service access before choosing automation. Confirm property-specific fire and land-use requirements with the responsible authority.
Working specs for Descanso fence projects
County of San Diego Planning and Development Services form PDS 070 (rev. 01/01/2023) says a building permit is required for any fence except fences and freestanding masonry walls not exceeding 6 feet in height that comply with County Zoning Ordinance fencing and landscape regulations, and except open fences up to 8 feet where allowed when the uppermost two feet consists only of barbed or razor wire and necessary support elements placed at an angle for security. The form's Zoning Ordinance §6708 excerpts list 42 inches in a front or exterior side yard and 72 inches in a rear or interior side yard, with the main-building area permitted up to the maximum height applicable to the main building. Confirm the parcel is unincorporated County and that the current form still applies. PDS 070 also says any portion of a fence within 5 feet of a building shall be constructed of non-combustible material or approved exterior fire-retardant wood or material that meets the same fire-resistive standards for exterior walls per Section 707A of the County Building Code. That County form does not automatically apply to a City of San Diego parcel. Confirm jurisdiction first.
PDS 070 states that it does not address the design of wood fences and supporting wood posts, and that the listed wood-post and footing notes are recommendations only. Ask the proposal to state footing size, depth, drainage, and post species or treatment for this grade and access, then compare that schedule with the product instructions rather than a community-wide depth.

What do Descanso homeowners ask about fences?
What kind of wood holds up at Descanso elevation?
Compare species, treatment, drainage, and manufacturer guidance. Elevation is not a verified permit to ban pine or assign a 20-year life. PDS 070 wood notes remain recommendations only.
Do you do deer-exclusion fence in Descanso?
A referral can be made. Specify purpose, height, mesh opening, and how the fence meets grade. Do not treat an eight-foot jump claim as County law.
How do you handle snow on Descanso gates?
Inspect hinge height, latch, operator clearance if proposed, and winter access. Hardware choice should be written against product instructions, not a Descanso-wide snow-load rule.
How deep do fence posts go in Descanso?
No community-wide depth was verified. PDS 070 states that it does not address the design of wood fences and supporting wood posts, and that the listed wood-post and footing notes are recommendations only. Ask the proposal to state footing size, depth, drainage, and post species or treatment for this grade and access, then compare that schedule with the product instructions rather than a community-wide depth.
