Palomar Mountain scope detail

Working specs for Palomar Mountain 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 section 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. Wood-post and chain-link footing notes on the form are recommendations or manufacturer-based, not a required community design. Ask the proposal to state how water sheds at the post, how the chosen wood or metal is rated by the manufacturer for ground contact and freeze-thaw, and how gates will operate if snow accumulates. For exclusion work, define the animal and openings, then confirm County height limits. Remote proposals should identify delivery, staging, and mobilization.

Palomar Mountain FAQs

What do Palomar Mountain homeowners ask about fences?

What kind of fence holds up at Palomar Mountain elevation?

No species has a verified service life from elevation or the community name. Compare the named wood product and grade, preservative or naturally durable rating, finish, ground-contact detail, drainage at the post, fasteners, and manufacturer maintenance instructions. Ask how the existing fence failed. Avoid pine-versus-cedar year counts that are not in product literature. For long perimeters, compare those facts with metal or chain-link systems using the same measured line.

How do you handle snow load on Palomar Mountain gates?

There is no sourced snow-load hardware mandate in the allowed research. Ask each proposal to name hinge, latch, frame, and operator products, plus the manufacturer's exposure and load guidance, and to explain how snow or mud around the mechanism will be managed. Compare those written details instead of assuming a required commercial-grade package.

Do you do deer-exclusion fence in Palomar Mountain?

A referral can be made for an exclusion fence. Define the animal, the opening size you need, height, gates for equipment, and how the fence meets County yard limits. Confirm PDS 070 height and permit questions with County staff before treating a tall exclusion fence as allowed. The independent professional should show corners, crossings, and how the line is closed at the end of each work day.

Can you actually get to Palomar Mountain for fence work?

Fence Pros San Diego can include this community in a referral request. The independent professional must confirm access, weather windows, staging, and availability. Send the line map, access photos, material quantities, and timing limits. Ask the proposal to state delivery and mobilization terms explicitly.
