DIVISION 4. LANDSCAPING, BUFFER, AND
GREENBELT REGULATIONS
Sec. 24.1-240. Intent.
The
following regulations are intended to establish minimum standards for
landscape design and for the preservation of trees in order to better
control soil erosion and the transport of sediment, protect and
improve the quality of surface and groundwaters, screen noise and
dust, and preserve, protect and enhance the natural and built
environment.
The transitional buffer regulations established herein are intended to
minimize potential conflicts between development on properties located
in abutting zoning districts of differing intensities. The purpose of
transitional buffers is to ensure that a natural area of appropriate
size and density of plantings is located between potentially
incompatible land uses.
The greenbelt regulations established herein are intended to implement
the specific comprehensive plan designations of greenbelts.
