    Special Requirements.

    1.

    In the general industrial (I) zone, a minimum setback of twenty-five feet shall be required wherever a lot in the I zone abuts a lot in any residential zone. Said setback may be used for required open off-street parking areas. The setback may be increased by the approving authority in situations where additional distance would help to mitigate or alleviate potential problems or hazards.

    2.

    The average setback shall be no less than the minimum of the zone. The minimum setback shall be no less than ten feet.

    3.

    Landscaping Requirements. Required setbacks shall be landscaped. Landscaping shall consist predominantly of drought tolerant, low maintenance plant materials and shall be irrigated by automatic sprinklers. All landscaping shall be permanently maintained in a clean and healthy and thriving condition, free of weeds, trash and debris.

    a.

    Along all street frontages situated across from any residentially zoned property, a minimum three feet high landscaped earthen berm shall be constructed. Along all other lot lines adjacent to residential zones, a maximum six feet high masonry wall shall be constructed. Fences should blend in with the site's architecture. In addition, along lot lines adjacent to residentially zoned property, five gallon trees twenty feet on-center and shrubbery shall be installed and maintained along the inside of the wall to provide a dense landscape screen.

    b.

    All surface parking lots shall be designed and well maintained in accordance with Section 17.13.160(B).

    4.

    Streetscapes shall be enhanced to provide an ease in the transition from the street to the building. Patios, parking and circulation spaces can be included in setback areas to help buffer adjoining parcels from one another.

    5.

    Reciprocal ingress and egress, circulation and parking arrangements shall be promoted where possible and feasible to facilitate ease of vehicular movement between adjoining properties and to limit superfluous driveways.
