(a) The general provisions for walls and landscaping are designed and intended to maintain the character and value of single-family residential districts and to provide protection to these districts from any adverse effects resulting when adjacent property is designated and used for off-street parking in multiple-family or nonresidential use districts.
(b) In addition to the above-stated purpose of this chapter, the provisions of this chapter are designed to encourage and provide a transitional buffer between residential and nonresidential use districts.
(c) It is further the intent of this chapter to prevent undue erosion of the soil, pollution of the atmosphere and natural waterways, interference with drainage and the natural water supply, and an unreasonable loss of oxygen, by limiting the unnecessary removal of trees and vegetation prior to, and during, any construction work.
