§ 17.24.180. Purpose and intent.

Latest version.

The purpose of this article is to protect the value and integrity of property from the potential adverse effects of noncompatible land uses. To that end, this article requires that landscape buffer yards be provided at the boundaries of selected zoning districts. The landscape buffer yard standards of this article are also employed by other chapters of this title to accomplish special screening and buffering objectives. The width of the landscape buffer yard and the intensity of plantings required may vary depending upon the relative intensities of the abutting zone districts or the activity itself. In most cases, the property owner may choose among a number of buffer yard widths and plantings to satisfy the requirement.
