   A.   No use or building except structures used for office or employee service facilities, shall be closer than five hundred feet (500') from the boundary of the site unless the applicant demonstrates that a distance of not less than two hundred fifty feet (250') from the boundary of the site is adequate to protect surrounding uses.

   B.   In lieu of subsection A of this section, the boundaries of the site may be surrounded by a buffer area of the same distance. The buffer area shall not contain any uses or buildings, except that a use or building permitted in the SID district may be allowed provided such use or building is not less than five hundred feet (500') from the boundaries of the property making the application.

   C.   The boundaries of the property shall not be any closer than one mile to property which has a zone which permits a residential use.

   D.   The boundaries of the property shall not be any closer than two (2) miles to the boundaries of any city or town.
