Buffers reduce adverse visual effects, as <br />well as noise, dust, and odor. <br />(B) Applicability <br />Land use buffers will be required based on the zoning district of the proposed use and <br />the zoning district of the adjacent uses. <br />(C) Location <br />(1) Required land use buffers shall be located along the interior or street lot lines <br />nearest the adjacent streets, land uses and/or zoning designations. Buffers shall <br />not be located on any portion of an existing or proposed street right of way, <br />drainage or utility easement. <br />(2) No building or structure of any type shall be erected, constructed or installed in a <br />required land use buffer. <br />(D) Land Use Buffer Table <br />TABLE 6.8.6.D: LAND USE BUFFERS <br /> ZONING OR USE OF ADJACENT PROPERTIES <br />RB <br />, <br /> AR <br />, <br /> RI <br /> <br />R- <br />2, <br /> R- <br />3 <br /> <br />R- <br />4, <br /> R- <br />5 <br /> <br />R- <br />8, <br /> R- <br />13 <br /> <br />MH <br />P <br />-CZ <br /> <br />O/ <br />I, <br /> NC <br />-2, <br /> LC <br />-1 <br /> <br />CC <br />-3, <br />G <br />C <br />-4, <br /> EC <br />- <br />5 <br /> <br />EI <br />, <br /> I- <br />1, <br /> I- <br />2, <br /> I- <br />3, <br /> PI <br />D <br /> <br />INT <br />E <br />R <br />S <br />T <br />A <br />T <br />E <br /> <br />HIG <br />H <br />W <br />A <br />Y <br /> <br />ART <br />E <br />R <br />I <br />A <br />L <br /> <br />STR <br />E <br />E <br />T <br /> <br />COL <br />L <br />E <br />C <br />T <br />O <br />R <br /> <br />STR <br />E <br />E <br />T <br /> <br />ACT <br />I <br />V <br />E <br /> <br />FAR <br />M <br />/ <br />AGR <br />I <br />C <br />U <br />L <br />T <br />U <br />R <br />E <br /> <br />Zo <br />n <br />i <br />n <br />g <br /> <br />o <br />r <br /> <br />U <br />s <br />e <br /> <br />o <br />f <br /> <br />S <br />u <br />b <br />j <br />e <br />c <br />t <br /> <br />P <br />r <br />o <br />p <br />e <br />r <br />t <br />y <br /> <br />RB, AR, R1 - A A B F E F F F E B B <br />R-2 & R-3 A - A B F D F F F D B B <br />R-4 & R-5 A A - B F C E E F C B B <br />R-8 & R-13 B B B - F B D D F C B B <br />MHP-CZ F F F F - F F F F F F F <br />O/I, NC-2, <br />LC-1 E D C B F - - - F B B D <br />CC-3, GC-4, <br />EC-5 F F E D F - - - F B B D <br />EI, I-1, I-2, I-3, <br />PID F F E E F - - - F B B D <br />AS, ASE-CZ 27 D A A A F A A A F B B B <br />Note: MPD-CZ buffers to be determined at time of approval. <br /> <br />(E) Natural Buffers <br />27 The AS zoning district does not currently appear on this chart.
