d. All parking lot planting areas shall include underground <br /> irrigation systems. <br /> <br />Bufferyards. This section are intended to be minimum <br />requirements to achieve screening between differing uses with <br />varied intensities and impacts that are not always complementary <br />when adjacent to one another. When a bufferyard is required <br />under this section, the yard space and planting requirements are <br />not to be reduced for other purposes such as future parking and <br />driveways, building expansions, or other activities that are not in <br />keeping with the purposes of buffering and screening. <br /> <br />Bufferyards are intended to provide additional screening of <br />businesses that are adjacent to residential areas. The <br />following table details the width of the bufferyard along the <br />common adjacent property line. An additional increase of <br />landscape plantings would be required in the bufferyard. <br />That increase is expressed in the table below as a <br />percentage of the total required site landscaping. <br /> <br /> Existing Adjacent Development <br /> R-1 R-2 R-3 <br /> <br />Bufferyard width 40ft 30ft 20ft <br />% Increase in plantings <br /> 25% <br /> 20% <br /> 20% <br />required <br />B-2 <br />Bufferyard width 50 ft 40 ft 30 ft <br />% Increase in plantings 30% 25% 20% <br />required <br />H-1 50 ft 40ft 30ft <br />Bufferyard with <br />% Increase in plantings 30% 25% 20% <br />required <br /> <br />bo <br /> <br />As an alternative method for screening, fences that are 100 <br />percent opaque may be used to mitigate the impacts of <br />businesses that are adjacent to residential areas. Fences <br />shall be subject to the provisions found in Section 9.11.17. <br />When a fence is used for screening purposes, the bufferyard <br />planting requirements may be reduced by 10 percent from <br />the stated minimum requirement. <br /> <br />4.
