In addition to applicable landscaping requirements under chapter 30.25 SCC, the following additional landscaping is required of rural village housing demonstration development applications to help maintain visual rural character and to mitigate visual impacts. Where the proposal includes new buildings that are 250 feet or less from the external property lines, the applicant must demonstrate how the project will screen the view of the new buildings from adjacent properties or roads. The applicant shall either provide a 20-foot wide Type A landscape buffer meeting the standards in SCC 30.25.017 placed in a location to create a dense sight barrier between the road and new buildings to meet the visual screening requirement or propose alternative screening methods provided that the alternative methods are consistent with the visual site planning principles in SCC 30.41H.070.
