Screenin~ and Buffer__~yard Requirements. ~pP!iqgb~tY~ Any one of the following types of screening may be required by the Planning and Zqning Commission or City Council during the development review process, for the purpose of minimizing the impact of potentially objectioqable areas such as- parking lots- major thoroughfares; unsightly rear entrances; utility or ma~nten~ne structures; solid waste disposal facilities; loading facilities and swimming pools and active recreational areas. Screening may also be required where land uses of different intensities are lo'cared J_I~ close proximity to each other. Descripti~ o~ ~creenin__n~._T~pesa Three (3) basic types of screening are hereby established; Type "A", Opaque Screen; Type "B", Semi-Opaque screen; and Type "C", Intermittent Screen.

The Type "A" Screen shall be completely opaque from the ground up to a height of at least six (6) feet, with large trees utilized as intermittent visual obstructions from the opaque portion to a mature height of at least twenty (20) feet. The opaque screen may be composed of a wall, fence, landscaped earth berm, planted vegetation, or existing vegetation, or any combination thereof which maintains a completely opaque screen of at least six (6) feet in height. Compliance of planted vegetation screens or natural vegetation will be judged on the basis of the average height and density of foliage of the subject species at the time of planting, or field observation of existing vegetation. The six (6) foot opaque portion of the screen must be opaque in all seasons of the year. Type "B", Semi-Opa,que Screen. The semi-opaque screen is intended to partially block visual contact between uses. The Type "B" screen shall be completely opaque from the ground up to a height of at least three (3) feet, with large trees utilized as intermittent visual obstructions from the opaque portion to a mature height of at least twenty (20) feet. The semi-opaque may be composed of a wall, fence, landscaped earth berm, planted vegetation, existing vegetation or any combination thereof which maintains a completely opaque screen of at least three (3) feet. Compliance of planted vegetative screens or natural vegetation will be judged on the basis of the average mature height and density of foilage of the subject species, or field observation..of existing vegetat ion. ~ype "C" Intermittent Screen· The intermittent screel] is irlt~rlde¢! Lo create the impression of a separation of spaces without necessarily eliminatin9, visual contact between the spaces. The Type "C" screen shall utilize large trees having a mature height of at least twenty (20) feet. The intermittent screen may be composed of fences, berms, and either existing or planted vegetation. Compliance of planted vegetative screens or natural vegetation will be judged on the basis of the average ,nature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. In addition to the landscape requ].rements of Article Xiii where the provisions of this ordinance require screening or buffering, the following standards shall apply; Landscaped Buffer Strip Required.
