Table 159-7.709 of this section sets forth the minimum buffer yard width and plant material standards required for achieving required buffer yard intensity levels and is designed so as to allow for choice from a variety of alternative buffer yard widths and general landscape plant material types in order to meet the required buffer yard intensity levels required elsewhere in this § 159-7.700.
