Screening Development Title Section 9-1022.4(d)(1) states, unless otherwise specified, parking areas abutting a residential zone, an area shown on the General Plan for residential use, or an existing residential use, shall be screened with a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height along the abutting property line, and a five (5) foot planting strip shall be installed adjacent to the wall and parking area. The parcel abutting the eastern property line of the project site has a single family residence and is zoned R-L (Low Density Residential). As a result, a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height shall be built along the eastern property line of the project site. Also, a five (5) foot planting strip will be required as a condition of approval adjacent to the masonry wall and parking areas. Development Title Section 9-1022.4(c), states when plant materials are used for screening, they shall be planted in such a quantity and location as to achieve an effective visual screen within three (3) years of installation. If a hedge fails to retain such density any time after this three (3) year period, it shall be supplemented or replaced with other dense landscaping or an appropriate fence or wall. Therefore, because there is an existing residence on the adjacent parcel, mature landscaping or hedge, six (6) to seven (7) feet in height, planted along the existing security rod iron fencing that provides adequate screening can be an alternative in place of a masonry wall and would be physically suitable for the type of development and the intensity of development being proposed.
