The landscaping and screening requirements specified herein are intended to foster aesthetically pleasing development that will protect and preserve the appearance, character, general health and welfare of the village while encouraging native species, practicality, diversity and ease of maintenance. Additionally, these regulations are intended to, in an environmentally sensitive manner, increase the compatibility of adjacent uses by requiring a buffer or screen between uses, and in doing so, minimize the harmful impact of noise, dust or other debris, motor vehicle headlight glare or other artificial light intrusions and other objectionable activities or impacts conducted or created by an adjoining or nearby use.
