Rules on walls
In Santa Cruz you can build a large opaque wall if it is set back 6 feet from the front property line (not counting easements to the city, etc.). You can have a fence on the line as long as it is no more than 3.5 feet high and you can see through it (picket or wrought iron). If you have the wall set back then you need to have the space between the wall and the front line fully landscaped.
I think we’re heading towards a sound blocking wall.
