13-13-8: LANDSCAPED BUFFERS:
   A.   Landscape buffers shall mitigate the transition between more intense land uses and/or between different development types. Only the more intense land use shall be required to provide the landscape buffer.
   B.   Materials and Installation:
      1.   Landscaped buffers shall be not less than twenty feet (20') wide. The area of this buffer may be counted toward the required landscape area. Sidewalks and walking paths may be included in a landscape buffer.
      2.   Buffers shall be designed with sufficient number, size and density of trees and shrubs to mitigate visual and auditory impacts. A minimum of one tree for each four hundred (400) square feet, or fraction thereof, of the landscaped buffer shall be planted. This requirement is in addition to the required park strip landscaping and parking lot landscaping.
   C.   Exceptions:
      1.   Where a landscape buffer already exists along the property line of an abutting property, the landscape buffer requirement for the subject property may be waived or reduced in width by the Zoning Administrator. (Ord. 21-10, 6-9-2021)
