These provisions apply when use is established in a more intensive zoning district (District A) which is adjacent to a less intensive zoning district (District B). The owner, developer, or operator of the use within District A shall install and maintain a landscaped buffer yard on his/her lot or site, as set forth in this section. Buffer yard requirements apply only to those districts indicated in Table 173-2. Buffer yards are not required of single-family, two-family, duplex, or townhouse use types in the more intensive zoning district.
1. The buffer yard dimensions set forth in Table 173-2 apply to zoning districts which share a common lot line or are adjacent but separated by an intervening alley.
2. When a street separates adjacent zoning districts requiring a buffer yard, the size of the buffer yard shall be one-half the required buffer yard set forth in Table 173-2.
3. Each required buffer yard must be entirely landscaped and free of paved areas, accessways, storage, or other disturbances.
