Ordinance 99-31 residentially designated areas or a public or plafted roads. However, industrial buildings shall satisfy the color requirements. In addition, industrially zoned manufacturing uses in the 98t' Avenue manufacturing district and historic buildings and resources are exempt from architectural/building requirements to the extent provided for in sections 911.19(3)(a)5. and 6. of this ordinance. D. Footnote "1 " of Land Development Regulations section 911.19(6) (b) is hereby amended to read as follows: 'NOTE: The hedge and berm combination shall provide a visual screen four (4) feet high above the grade of the project site parking area. An alternative to this standard is available for industrially zoned manufacturing uses located in the 98t' Avenue manufacturing district, as provided for in section 911.19(3)(a)5. of this ordinance. Hedge material shall provide full screening to the ground; therefore, wax myrtles and shrubs with similar leafing characteristics shall not be used for hedge material unless a double row arrangement is used. At the time of a certificate of occupancy (CO) for the project site, the combination of berming and hedging shall provide a four -foot visual screen, subject to county sight distance requirements. Undulations in the berm and corresponding hedge height are encouraged. Hedge shrubs shall be planted no further apart than twenty-four (24) inches on center along the length of the buffer strip, to form a hedge that appears continuous as viewed from the roadway being buffered. Berms shall have a slope no steeper than three (3) horizontal to one (1) vertical, and shall be continuous along the length of the buffer strip, except where berm modifications may be necessary for tree preservation as determined by the community development director or his designee. Clustering of trees along the buffer strip is encouraged, and uniform spacing of trees is discouraged, except where used to emphasize a particular planting theme or development style. Hedge plantings may be asymmetrical, and a buffer wall, not to exceed four (4) feet in height except as specified below, is allowed within the middle one-third (1/3) of the buffer strip's width (measured perpendicular to the road being buffered) if landscaping material is planted on each side of the wall. 2.
