A front yard setback of sixty feet (60') from the right of way of any existing or proposed street shall be maintained by gasoline service stations or retail outlets where gasoline products are sold in the C-1 light commercial districts unless otherwise approved by the planning and zoning commission.

In all commercial districts, all lighting shall be shielded as best as possible from adjacent residential zoning districts and residential uses. A minimum 6' to 8' high wall or wood fence shall be provided by all gasoline service stations, retail outlets where gasoline products are sold, drive-in businesses, or other commercial user when abutting or adjacent to either a residential zone or residential land use. Dependent on circumstances of compatibility and expected noise generation from the commercial user, such fence buffer may also be required by the City even if an intervening alley exists between the residential and nonresidential property, especially if said nonresidential user does not plan to actively use the alley.
