4 <br />Figure B: Example elevation view of perimeter parking lot landscape screening. <br />6.Screening. Screening shall be used to provide visual and noise separation of more intensive uses from <br />less intensive uses. Where screening is required in the City Code between uses or districts, it shall <br />consist of either a wall or fence, or berm in combination with landscape material that forms a screen at <br />least six feet in height, and not less than 90 percent opaque on a year-round basis. Top of wall or fence <br />shall be a minimum of six feet above the elevation along the property line(s) from which screening of <br />the less intensive use is required. The city may require screening at least eight feet in height were the <br />difference in intensity of uses is greater, such as between lots planned for development with single- <br />family attached and detached residential development and certain service uses such as self-service <br />storage and trade shops, automotive/vehicular uses, or industrial and extractive uses. Landscape material <br />shall include trees, planted at a minimum of one deciduous or coniferous tree per 25 linear feet along the <br />property line. Screening trees shall be adequately sized and offset from the property line so as not to <br />overhang adjacent properties upon reaching mature size. Additional landscape material, such as shade <br />trees or trellises, may be required to partially screen views from above. <br />Figure C: Example cross-section of screening between land uses.
