When a new subdivision street is proposed, the project often will result in the orientation of dwellings such that they form a line of rear yards abutting the side yard of a lot in the established residential area. To protect existing dwellings in the established residential area for exposure to multiple residences, rear yards of the lots in the new subdivision shall be separated and screened along common lot lines of the established residential area with a solid wooden fence or masonry wall of six feet in height and a minimum ten-foot-wide vegetative buffer, or comparable screening approved by the community and economic development department director.
