§ 352.01 Purpose
   The purpose of the requirements in this chapter is to provide for appropriate landscaping and screening that will:
   (a)   Protect residential and all other environments from adverse effects, such as noise, odors and dust, of more intensive adjacent uses;
   (b)   Protect users of parking areas from excessive wind, glare, and temperature extremes;
   (c)   Mitigate the adverse effects on public streets and adjacent properties of noise, blowing dust and debris, water runoff, and glare from motor vehicle headlights and parking area lighting;
   (d)   Discourage unsafe access to and circulation within off-street parking areas;
   (e)   Contribute to improved community appearance and property values and preserve and enhance the mature “established” character of City neighborhoods;
   (f)   Preserve privacy in residential areas next to non-residential uses and discourage trespass thereupon;
   (g)   Provide trees that improve the urban environment by cooling the air and land, reducing carbon dioxide in the air, and producing oxygen; and
   (h)   Compensate for the inability in an older, densely developed city like Cleveland to buffer incompatible uses by use of wide yards and open spaces.
