§ 34A-10. Fencing.

All marijuana grown outside of any building must be fully enclosed by a solid and opaque fence (of approved materials by the Department of Development Services) at least six (6) feet in height or a height sufficient to conceal the marijuana from view, whichever is higher, provided, however, that such fence shall not be required for marijuana grown on premises of five (5) acres or more when such marijuana is grown out of sight from public view. The Director of the Department of Development Services or his or her designee shall have discretion to determine whether the plants are grown out of sight from public view. Should the marijuana plant(s) grow higher than the fence, either:

(1)

The plants shall be cut so as to not extend higher than such fence, or

(2)

The person growing marijuana plants shall install a fence sufficient to conceal the marijuana plants from public view and comply with all applicable Butte County permit requirements.

The fence must be adequately secure to prevent unauthorized entry. Bushes or hedgerows may constitute an adequate fence under this Chapter on parcels five (5) acres and above in size.
