A. Shared Property Lines with a Lot Zoned for Residential Use.
1. Wall Required. Whenever a commercially or industrially zoned lot shares a side or rear property line with an exclusively residential or a mixed-use zoned lot, a minimum six-foot-high solid masonry wall shall be provided, along or adjacent to all such side and rear lot lines. The wall shall conform to the height regulations applicable to front yard areas of the residentially zoned lot having the common lot line. The wall shall be measured from the commercially or industrially zoned lot. A landscape buffer shall also be provided along the shared lot lines on the commercially or industrially zoned lot.
2. Setbacks in Industrial Zones. Where an industrial zone adjoins a residential zone, each lot or parcel of land in the industrial zone adjoining a lot or parcel of land in a residential zone shall have a rear yard not less than 30 feet in depth along the contiguous property line.
B. Driveway Abutting a Building Wall Facing Side or Rear Yard. Wherever a permitted driveway abuts a wall of a building facing a side or rear yard area, that portion of the wall shall be located at least 20 feet from the lot line.
