in effectSec. 250370. - Required perimeter buffering adjacent to abutting properties.
When an RM-20 zoned plot abuts or is across a water body or local street from any RS, RC-6 or RD-8 zoned plot a buffer area shall be required on the RM zoned property which satisfies one of the following options:
(1) When a wall or berm is used: The buffer area shall include a solid opaque screen with a minimum height of four (4) feet and a maximum height of six (6) feet. The minimum width of the buffer area shall be fifteen (15) feet where abutting any RS zoned plot and ten (10) feet where abutting any RC-6 or RD zoned plot. This option may be used without placing a solid opaque screen on the RM zoned plot if the abutting RS, RC-6 or RD zoned plot has a minimum four (4) foot high solid opaque screen between the plots.
(2) When a wall or berm is not used: The minimum width of any such buffer shall be fifteen (15) feet to screen adjoining parking lots, other vehicular use areas or single story buildings. Where there is no vehicular use area between a building and the plot line abutting any RS, RC-6 or RD zoned plot then the minimum width of the buffer shall be twenty-five (25) feet to screen two (2) story buildings, or thirty-five (35) feet to screen buildings in excess of two (2) stories.
The buffer shall be landscaped in accordance with the provisions set forth elsewhere in this chapter.
