Buffering and density transition methods shall be required as set forth in title 9, chapter 19, section 8E and title 9, chapter 5, section 7C of the City Code unless noted otherwise within this ordinance. (Ord. 2075, 12-15-2014)
A thirty foot (30') landscaped and bermed buffer shall be provided along the South 35th Street frontage. With the exception of a buffer required for double-frontage single-family detached lots, the buffer may overlap building setbacks. On single-family detached double frontage lots, the rear yard setback shall be measured from the interior edge of the buffer.
Where single-family detached abuts single-family attached and multi-family, the following architectural and/or buffering standards as outlined in A, B, C, and D below and illustrated in Exhibit A (on file with the City Clerk) shall also apply:
A. Single-family attached and multi-family buildings located on street corners shall have facades that relate to both streets. Buildings should implement building enhancements, such as but not limited to porches, sun rooms, bay windows, additional entries, and other elements typically used only on front facades on both street-facing facades. A minimum landscape of three (3) trees and sixteen (16) shrubs shall be implemented along that part of a lot adjacent to the street that functions as the side yard for the lot.
B. Parcels developed with multi-family dwellings that have a side yard which abuts the rear yard of an adjacent single-family detached property shall provide a six foot (6') privacy fence on the common property line with a fifteen foot (15') side yard building setback.
C. In the case where single-family attached and multi-family residential buildings back up to parcels intended for detached single-family homes, a minimum of two (2) overstory trees shall be located in the rear yard area and a six foot (6') privacy fence shall be constructed along the rear property line.
D. Adequate buffering of views of the multi-family development to be located in Parcel D from homes along the south boundary of Parcel A and the eastern boundary of Parcels B and C, if developed with single-family detached dwellings, shall be provided. Earthen berming, if possible, along with implementation of landscape vegetation equivalent to that required of City Code for a thirty foot (30') wide buffer shall be provided adjacent to the pond within Parcel E or along the north and west boundaries of Parcel D.
