113. Section 12-101. - Permit required for all fences.

     A. It shall be unlawful for any person to erect any fence on or around any property within the corporate limits of the City of Mount Rainier without a permit first had and obtained from the Mayor and City Council of Mount Rainier or their designee.

     B. This section shall apply to any fence constructed, reconstructed, or replaced in its entirety on or after March 18, 1997. A fence shall not be reconstructed or replaced in its entirety, unless it complies with Section 12-102, even though a variance had been previously granted. In order for a fence for which a variance had been previously granted to be replaced or reconstructed in its entirety, either it must comply with Section 12-102 or a new variance must be sought from the Mayor and City Council pursuant to Section 12-103.

     C. For any fence constructed after March 1, 2006, the finished side of the fence shall face the public street, alley, or abutting property. For purposes of this section, the "finished side" of a fence is the smooth side or the side not containing structural supports. If structural elements are an integral part of the fence design, then such elements must be centered on the line of the fence and designed as part of the finished surface.

     D. All fences must be maintained in good, sound condition. Fences must be free of damage, breaks, and missing structural members.

     E. The maximum fence height specified in Section 12-102 shall not apply to property located in the Mixed-Use Town-Center or Urban Light Industrial zones.

     F. Fences required as a condition for a non-conforming use by the Prince George's County Planning Board are not subject to the height regulations of Section 12-102 provided that the non-conforming use has been properly obtained with the full knowledge of the City. Any fence required as a condition for a non-conforming use by the Planning Board is required to have a City permit.

     G. All fences shall be located so as to comply with the Prince George's County Zoning Code.

     H. Repair or replacement of an existing fence does not require a permit, provided that the repaired fence or replacement fence is in compliance with the City Code, including, but not limited to, subsections B and C, above, the height of the fence does not exceed the height of the previous fence, and, in the case of a replacement, the replacement of the fence occurs within thirty (30) days of the removal of the old fence.
