The requirements of Article VIII, Section 4, Landscape, Screening and Buffer Requirements, shall be utilized as a minimum standard for landscaping, however, all parking areas that are adjacent to a residential zone shall be landscaped to have a visually impenetrable screen year round. Unless additional setbacks and/or natural planted buffers are expressly required in these regulations all lots which are adjacent to a residential zone or a single-family dwelling shall maintain a minimum of a seventy-five-foot wide natural buffer along such boundary. In the absence of such a natural buffer, a planted buffer shall be required unless waived by the Zoning Commission.
