<br />should <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br /> <br />be given to: <br />distance between incompatible uses" <br />width of buffer, <br />height of buffer and <br />substance or material used to buffer. <br /> <br />Consideration must be given to the specific use within a <br />particular intruding zone, as not all uses in a given zone <br />will have the same negative effects on surrounding land uses. <br />Different kinds of buffers will be required by different <br />intruding uses to effectively buffer protected uses. <br /> <br />The performance standard of the buffer should be that the <br />protected use should be no more affected by the intruding <br />use's presence as it would be by the presence of any use that <br />would not require a buffer. <br /> <br />V. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING BUFFER <br /> <br />In general, responsibility to provide adequate buffering for <br />a protected use rests with the intrudin9 use. However, a new <br />protected use is responsible for providlng its own buffer <br />where such a use locates adjacent to a pre-existing intruding <br />use that would normally be responsible for providing the <br />buffer. <br /> <br />VI. EXAMPLES OF BUFFERS <br /> <br />In general, natural buffers are preferred over man-made <br />buffers. <br />Natural buffers include: <br /> <br />1. Topographical variations, including hills and <br />ravines. <br /> <br />2. vegetation, including evergreen trees and dense <br />growths of deciduous trees and hedges. <br /> <br />3. Bodies of water, including creeks, ponds and lakes. <br /> <br />4. Combinations of the above, including landscaped <br />berms. <br /> <br />5. Judicious site planning with regard to prevailing <br />wind directions. <br /> <br />Man-made buffers include: <br /> <br />1. Intervening non-intruding land uses. <br />2. Fences. <br />3. Pools. <br /> 60 <br />
