Title 17 LAND USE
Chapter 17.76 HEAVY
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT (I-3)
17.76.160 Screening and buffering.
A. Screening and buffering shall be used to mitigate adverse visual
impacts, dust, noise, or pollution, and to provide for compatibility between
dissimilar adjoining uses. Special consideration will be given to the
buffering and screening between residential uses and commercial or
industrial uses, and in visually sensitive areas. It is not the intent
of this Chapter to require screening or buffering of principal structures,
or of products displayed for retail sale.
B. Screening and buffering may be accomplished by the use of
sight-obscuring plant materials, earth berms, walls, fences, building
parapets, building placement, or other design techniques. Corrugated
metal, doors, or similar "scrap" materials shall not be used for screening
or buffering.
C. Screening is required to substantially block any view of material,
equipment, or stored vehicles from any point located on a street or
adjoining property adjacent to the site. A sight-obscuring fence at
least six (6) feet in height is required around the material or equipment.
D. A screening and buffering plan shall be submitted for review by the
Pueblo County Department of Planning and Development. This plan shall
include a site plan, which specifies all screening and buffering materials,
type of landscaping, and elevations to depict compliance with these
requirements. Screening and buffering not specifically mentioned in
the regulations, but found appropriate and necessary due to unusual
conditions on the site, may be required.
