This development area provides for the orderly development of detached single-family residences on minimum seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square foot lots (see Exhibit No. 27 of the Specific Plan). The standards of the "RS-2" Single–Family Residential Zone in Chapter 18.04 (Single-Family Residential Zones) shall apply for development in this area, except as otherwise provided below:
Site Screening. Except as otherwise provided herein, a solid, decorative-type, masonry wall, landscaped earthen berm, or any combination thereof, totaling not less than six (6) feet in height, shall be provided along, and immediately adjacent to, the site boundary line of any single-family development abutting any arterial highway or multiple-family zone boundary, or any alley abutting any such boundary. The height of any such wall and/or berm shall be as measured from the highest finished grade level of the building pad of the dwelling units located nearest any such abutting boundary.
However, in conditions where a grade separation between any arterial highway and property line occurs at a minimum of six (6) feet, and a minimum setback of twelve (12) feet exists between the single-family development and conditions as stated above, an open, decorative-type wall is permitted, in order to allow and preserve view opportunities.
