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 <br />screening of businesses that are adjacent to residential <br />areas.

That increase is expressed <br />in the table below as a percentage of the total required <br />site landscaping. <br /> <br /> b.
