Perimeter Fencina Fences of appropriate materials can do much to contribute to the overall architectural character of the residence. All fencing shall be in conformance with regard to height specified by City of Santa Ana Municipal Code and Specific Development 40 standards and compatible with the architectural style of the residence. If adequate historical, pictorial, and physical documentation of a historically appropriate fence of the residence is available, the features should be replicated. If information no longer exists, a new design that is compatible with the character - defining features of the residence can be constructed. Design Characteristics • Design of front, side, and rear yard fencing shall be historically compatible with the architecture of the residence. • Fencing should be ornamental in nature and be constructed of material complimentary to the main structure on the property and compatible with the neighborhood as a whole. • Fencing should not detract from street side fagades of the residence or building. • Fencing constructed of wood, such as picket fences, can be of plain features or with ornamental carving at the top. Wood fencing is appropriate with the architectural styles of Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Callfomia Bungalow, Prairie School, and Period Revival, such as English and French Tudors. • Wrought iron may be appropriate if compatible with the architectural style of the residence, such as the Colonial Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. • Fencing constructed of wrought Iron should reflect historical patterns and feature plain balusters. 47 Resolution No. 2006-022 Page 53 of 71
