LDC 6.8.6.L(1) Buffers
CODE states Where buffer walls are required by this article, a combination of buffer walls and berms may be used to meet the intent of buffering. Buffer fences may be used as a substitute for buffer walls with approval of the DRC. The buffer walls, buffer fences, and berms shall: (a) Not be constructed or installed in a manner which creates a threat to public safety or interferes with vehicular circulation; (b) Be designed to be compatible with existing and proposed site architecture and the character of the surrounding and adjacent settings including the style and selection of materials; and (c) Be situated so that the wall or fence components are within the buffer limits and any required landscaping shall be installed on the public view side of the wall.
APPLICANT - A Type B landscape buffer is required along the north, south, and west property boundaries. We are requesting that a 6-foot-tall white PVC privacy fence be permitted as a substitute for the required buffer wall. The proposed fence, together with the required landscape buffer, will provide screening and separation along the shared boundaries and will help mitigate potential impacts related to noise, light, views, and other nuisances in a manner comparable to a wall. The buffer will be designed to fully comply with the County’s landscape requirements for trees, shrubs, and buffer width. The only request being made is a deviation from the required wall to allow a privacy fence instead.
