In the case of 2 or more buildings to be constructed on a plot of ground of at least 2 acres, not subdivided into the customary streets and lots and which will not be so subdivided, the application of the terms of this chapter may be varied by the Board of Zoning Appeals in a manner that will be in harmony with the character of the neighborhood, provided:
(A) The uses are limited to those permitted within the zoning district in which the project is located. In no case shall the Board authorize a use prohibited in the district in which the project is to be located;
(B) The overall intensity of land use is no higher, and the standard of open space is no lower than that permitted in the district in which the project is located;
(C) The distance of every building from the nearest property line shall meet the front yard setback and side yard requirements of the district in which the project is located;
(D) The building heights do not exceed the height limits permitted in the district in which the project is located;
(E) Off-street parking, loading and unloading space shall be provided as required in this chapter; and
(F) If the group project is industrial or commercial in nature and abuts any residential district, there shall be provided along the common lot line screening in the form of a wall or fence, supplemented by planting, all of a nature and density that it will screen the activities on the business property from view from the normal level of the first-floor windows of the residential property. No buffer shall, however, extend nearer to a street right-of-way line than the established building line of the adjoining residential lot.
