1. Purpose: Six-foot (6') sight-obscuring fences will be required in situations where residential uses and non-residential uses are developed next to each other or when residential uses are developed next to undeveloped property in order to mitigate the incompatibility between such uses.
2. Fencing Required: Any person who applies for a residential use or any commercial use in which a person resides or intends to reside, including apartments, shall construct a six-foot (6') sight-obscuring fencing around the use prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy. In cases where the use immediately adjacent to such property is residential in nature and has similarly completed construction of such fencing, fencing is not necessary to divide the completed residential development from the completed residential development. Any person who applies for a non-residential use that is reasonably likely to impose an impact upon existing, adjacent residential uses, will unreasonably disturb existing, adjacent residential uses, or is adjacent to an existing primarily residential zone shall construct a fence separating such non-residential use from the residential use or zone.
