Minimum 8' tall above the finished grade of any parking lots opaque fence to block out vehicular traffic lights, reduce noise and to provide visual screening on the northern property line (which is in the creek, therefore we'd want the fence to be on the upper bank of the southern side of the creek, which is the top of the gabions). 2.

This buffer is to be maintained by the property owner, including annual removal of invasive species, and replacement of any sections that have declined due to drought, flooding, or misuse. The buffer zone is to be kept free of litter/debris at all times unless conditions within a utility easement or other easements supersede this requirement. 3. Vegetative Buffer (that meets City Screening Standards) along the creek side (northern side of property, southern side of the creek), along the fence, unless conditions within a utility easement or other easements supersede this requirement. 4.
