Within 90 days of completion of the drill site or erection of storage tanks, whichever occurs first, production site and all related equipment and storage facilities shall be screened with an opaque permanent fencing sufficient to secure the area where production activities are conducted and to protect adjoining uses from the deleterious effects of noise, light, dust, and other nuisances associated with production activities, consistent with the standards set forth in this code. The presumptive minimum height of such fencing shall be eight feet. Provided, however, the minimum height may be reduced to not less than six feet if trees or similar vegetation are planted in the separation area between the production site and any adjoining protected use. The matters contained in this chapter are subject to amendment by the City Council or its designee on a well by well basis.
