In the event that an MF-1, MF-2, RPO, B-1, or B-2 and/or GI district sides or backs upon an R-1, R-2, R-3 or R-4 zoned district, a solid screening wall or fence of not less than six nor more than eight feet in height shall be erected along the entire property line separating these districts, except where visibility triangles or easements are required. The purpose of the screening wall or fence is to provide a visual barrier between the properties. The owner of such property shall be responsible for and shall build the required wall or fence along the entire property line dividing his or her property from the residential district. In cases where the Planning and Zoning Commission finds this requirement to be impractical for immediate construction, it may grant a temporary or permanent waiver of the required screening wall or fence until such time as the screening wall or fence may be deemed necessary by the City Council. In cases where the Planning and Zoning Commission finds this requirement to be better met by an irrigated evergreen living screen, the same may be substituted for the screening wall.
