Surface lots when abutting any residential use shall be screened by privacy fencing
no less than six (6) feet in height, or a seven-foot wide treed buffer planted with
evergreen trees at a minimum height of eight (8) feet and no more than ten (10) feet
apart, as provided in Chapter 33.02 of the City Code, except where buffer areas are required by Article XXVIII, of this
chapter. Such fencing shall be designed to be architecturally compatible with, and
not detract from, the surrounding neighborhood and shall be erected in a manner as
to provide adequate air and light and to not obstruct clear sight vision for traffic
safety purposes. The board of zoning appeals may grant a special exception for the
reduction or elimination of the fencing or treed buffer, subject to the conditions
prescribed in Article XXXII, section 45-3204. Where lighting is required by this or any other ordinance of the city, it shall
be erected and shielded in a manner as to direct lighting inward to the property being
developed and prevent glare to adjacent properties or vehicular public rights-of-way.
