   (B)   Exemptions.
      (1)   Within any CDF and/or OR District all existing adjacent Classification 1 and/or Classification 2 land uses shall be construed as Classification 3 land uses for purposes of determining proposed land use bufferyard requirements.
      (2)   Within any district all existing adjacent church uses shall be construed as a Classification 3 land use for purposes of determining proposed land use bufferyard requirements.
      (3)   Within any district, parking areas for two-family attached development or conversion shall be subject to the bufferyard setback and screening requirement applicable to a Classification 2 land use whenever the parking area is located in a side and/or rear yard and the yard abuts a lot located in any residential district which contains an existing single-family dwelling or abuts a vacant lot or tract located in a single-family district. The bufferyard setback and screening requirement of this section shall only apply to that portion of the parking area located within the side and/or rear yard.
   (C)   Notes. Pursuant to the bufferyard chart the following notes are additional minimum setback requirements:
      (1)   Note: 1. Building setbacks shall be in accordance with applicable regulations for the zoning district and use.
      (2)   Note: 2. Unless otherwise provided, building setbacks shall be determined in the following manner:
         (a)   No structure shall exceed the maximum height allowance as specified under Article F of this chapter.
         (b)   Structures 35 feet in height and under, in accordance with prescribed bufferyards.
         (c)   Structures over 35 feet in height, in accordance with prescribed bufferyards or by using the following formula, whichever is greater: D = 6 + 2(S) + L/10 where D is the minimum setback distance, S is the number of stories and L is the length of the wall. Where the length of the wall is set back eight feet or more, the length (L) of each segment or plane is measured separately in determining the required yard depth (see definition of story).
