PERIMETER BUFFER STANDARDS <br />Amend landscaping chapter section 926.08, as follows: <br />(1) A perimeter buffer is a landscaped strip along parcel boundaries that serves as a <br />buffer between incompatible uses and zoning districts, as an attractive boundary of <br />the parcel or use, or as both a buffer and attractive boundary. Existing native <br />vegetation and upland native plant communities as described in Chapter 929, <br />Upland Habitat Protection, may be utilized to meet buffer requirements. <br />(2) The width and degree of vegetation required depends on the nature of adjoining <br />thoroughfares and uses. Chapter 915, Planned Development, and Chapter 911, <br />Zoning, of the County Land Development Code, set forth buffer type requirements <br />for adjacew properties, based on land use and zoning districts. <br />(3) Buffer types and opaque features. There are four (4) buffer types to be utilized in <br />Indian River County. They are, in order of intensity, as follows: Type A buffer; <br />Type B buffer, Type C buffer and -Type D buffer. Buffers may require opaque <br />features. including three foot and six foot opaque features where specified in the <br />land development regulations. <br />W Required opaque features shall consist of a solid masonry wall or earthen berm <br />unless the Planning and Zoning Commission approves a substitute material (such <br />as a completely opaque living landscape barrier) based upon the use and <br />conditions of the project site and adjacent site. Landscaninz is required along <br />both sides of a wall unless otherwise annroved by the Planninzand Zoning <br />Commission. <br />DECEMBER 1, 1997 -1= - <br />
