§ 58.1181. Nonconforming Bufferyards.

Nonconforming bufferyards shall be brought into conformity as part of any substantial enlargement or substantial improvement granted for the building site. No existing building shall be required to be altered or moved in order to comply with the requirements of this Part; however, no building, structure or vehicular use area may be expanded or altered in a manner which increases the nonconformity of the bufferyard. If the building site, because of its substandard area or the location of existing structures on the site, is unable to accommodate the bufferyard otherwise required by Chapter 60, the following requirements shall apply:

Largest Feasible Bufferyard Width. The bufferyard provided shall be of the largest feasible width available on the building site, as determined by the Zoning Official.

Compliance with Planting and Screen Requirements. Regardless of the width of the bufferyard, all required plantings and screens shall be provided unless the Zoning Official shall determine that the plantings and screens cannot feasibly be accommodated in the bufferyard available.

Zoning Official Authorized to Make Adjustments. In cases where required plantings and structures cannot feasibly be accommodated the Zoning Official shall be authorized to make adjustments, including modifications to plantings and screens, in order to bring the building site as nearly as possible into conformity with the intent of the bufferyard requirements of Chapter 60.
