§ 90-826.1. Buffer yards.

(a)

Required buffer yards shall be located so that they provide a visual and physical barrier between abutting zoning districts and shall buffer and screen all outside storage, loading and parking areas. No use of the site may be extended into or beyond the required buffer yard. Required buffer yards shall not be located in any portion of any existing or any dedicated public right-of-way and they shall not obstruct the visibility of traffic circulation and shall not interfere with the use of adjoining land.

(b)

The buffer yard shall be reserved solely for screening and plantings, except for required pedestrian or vehicular access driveways to the property, passive recreational areas, or pedestrian or bicycle trails, which can be accommodated in a manner that preserves the intended screening function between abutting zoning districts. In no case shall any portion of a required buffer yard be used for storage, loading or parking areas or any other use that impairs the intended buffer.

(c)

The property owner or the lessee shall have the responsibility to continuously maintain the required buffer yards, site screening and plantings so that they continue to meet the specified standards and intent of this section to properly buffer different zoning district uses.
