A. A strip of land twenty percent (20%) of the average width and depth of the property when a nonresidential use abuts a residential zone on the side or rear, respectively, shall be designated as a buffer area and so indicated on the plat. Buffer areas shall be located along residential property lines and shall be of uniform width. In no case should the width of the buffer exceed fifty (50) feet. If the buffer is less than twenty (20) feet wide, the applicant may be required to erect and landscape a six-foot high stockade fence within the buffer area parallel to the lot line of the abutting residential lot and set back a distance appropriate for the landscaping treatment in the buffer area. Buffer areas between parking and loading areas and streets shall be at least fifteen (15) feet wide.

(3) The height of the landscaped screen shall be measured in relation to the elevation of the edge of the parking and loading area. Where the landscaped screen is lower than the elevation of the parking or loading area, either the required height of the screen shall be in creased equal to the difference in elevation, or the parking or loading area shall be moved to allow the plantings to be located in an area with a similar elevation as the parking or loading area.

(4) If the buffer area includes existing growth of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubbery, but not enough to provide a suitable screen as required above, existing trees and shrubbery may remain and shall be supplemented by additional evergreen plantings to provide the required landscape screen. In the event that the approving authority finds that further planting of evergreens will not grow satisfactorily in said buffer areas, stockade fence(s) six (6) feet high shall be erected in the buffer area.

E. The approving authority shall have the power to waive any of the buffer requirements if it determines that an adequate buffer can be provided in less than twenty (20) feet while maintaining the purposes of this section.
