5.10.2. Using These Standards

   A.   These standards identify a series of use types, site features, and activities that are required to be screened from off-site views (see Section 5.10.3, Applicability, and Section 5.10.4, Exemptions).

   B.   The standards establish a series of screening methods organized into differing levels (e.g., Level 1 through Level 10). The higher the screening method's level number, the greater its opacity, or its ability to obscure a particular site feature from off-site view (see Table 5.10.5, Screening Methods).

   C.   The standards identify which methods of screening may be used to screen a site feature or activity from view from a particular location, such as an adjacent street or abutting lot with residential zoning (see Table 5.10.6, Views to Be Screened). Nothing prohibits a landowner from using a more intense or opaque screening technique than is required by Table 5.10.6, Views to Be Screened.
