Appendix 522. Storage yard screening.

To prevent unsightly views from adjacent roadways and land uses, all junk, salvage, dump yards and high bulk merchandise storage yard areas in commercially zoned districts (unless otherwise defined or directed) shall be screened by a completely opaque fence, wall or vegetative hedge not less than six (6) feet in height and shall not be stacked higher than the maximum height allowed for a fence or wall in such commercially zoned district.

Completely opaque screening of junk, salvage, dump yards, stock yards and high bulk merchandise areas in industrial and manufacturing districts shall be required if abutting a public roadway (unless otherwise defined) and/or unlike zoning districts. Businesses that are adjacent to like industrial and/or manufacturing are exempt from the screening requirement along the shared property boundaries. Stacking shall also be limited to the maximum allowed fence height. See section 523 [of this Zoning Ordinance]. Items such as recreation vehicles which are not stacked must only be screened to a height of six (6) feet.

Industrial and manufacturing businesses within an industrial park shall be exempt from opaque screening and stacking of stored product.
