(A) In accordance with §§ 155.095 through 155.107 of this chapter, certain uses are required to provide screening and/or landscaping on-site. Except as herein provided, any expansion of an existing use which is deficient in screening and/or landscaping or any change in principal use cannot occur without the required screening and/or landscaping having first been provided on-site. See also § 155.102 of this chapter. The Central Business (C-B) District is exempt from this requirement.
(B) In cases when the non-conformity is a result of an adjoining lot having been rezoned to a residential (R-A, R-20, R-10) district from a business (C-B, G-B) or industrial (M-1, M-2) district, screening shall be provided as in §§ 155.095 through 155.107 of this chapter, along the adjoining lot line separating different zoning districts.
(C) (1) An example of this is as follows:

(2) Lot A and Lot B are both initially in a G-B Zoning District. Lot B is subsequently rezoned to a R-10 District. Lot A currently contains an otherwise conforming commercial structure. The owner of Lot A would like to expand said structure. Currently, no screening lies between Lot A and Lot B. In order to meet the screening requirements as herein stated, buffer/screen must be placed on Lot A along the side yard separating it from Lot B. Screening requirements are found in §§ 155.095 through 155.107 of this chapter.
