Analysis
This ordinance creates a new category of perimeter landscaping and edge treatment standards, type “I,” which may be used for screening heavy motor vehicle parking, heavy motor vehicle outdoor storage and contractors’ yards. This landscaping type is an alternative to existing types “E” and “F” and differs from those types primarily in that a decorative metal fence may be used as part of a type “I” treatment, but a masonry wall or opaque fence is required for type “E” or “F.”
