3.4.11 — Screening for Equipment and Structures A. Screen refuse and waste removal areas, trash receptacles, loading docks, service yards, storage yards, exterior work areas, outdoor storage areas, and similar uses from view at ground level from public ways and adjacent residential properties. B. Use screening and landscaping to soften the visual, acoustic, and olfactory effects of miscellaneous structures and mechanical equipment on the aesthetics of the site and its surrounding area. 1. Design screening for mechanical equipment and miscellaneous structures to be harmonious with the architectural concept of the site, and compatible in scale and color with nearby buildings and the surroundings. 2. Whenever possible, locate miscellaneous structures and mechanical equipment away from the perimeter of the site, to provide separation from the street and adjacent residential areas. 3. Screening may be accomplished with planting materials, berms or walls or fences. a. Fences used for screening must be at least 6 feet in height, and with slatting that reduces the passage of light by at least 90%. b. Landscaping used for screening must maintain a reduced visual impact to a height of at least 6 feet, year round, within one year of planting. (1) Plant shrubs, perennials and groundcovers in mulched plant beds .
