Buffers are intended to protect adjacent or other properties from potential nuisances associated with neighboring uses and to protect the public from unsightly views along public rights-of-way. Such nuisances may include dust, litter, odor, noise, glare, and unsightly buildings, uses or parking areas. They are further intended to preserve and enhance the aesthetic qualities, character, privacy, and land values of property within the city. Buffers may also be required by zoning conditions or other formal approvals.
