A. Outdoor Storage. In addition to the requirements of MCC 18.80.100, Outdoor storage, in the LI District, outdoor storage shall be screened so as not to be visible from public areas.
B. Screening and Separation of Parking Areas. In the industrial districts, parking areas located between a building and street shall be screened with a screening wall or berm at least three feet and not to exceed three and one-half feet high. In addition, parking areas shall be separated from on-site buildings by a distance of at least 10 feet, which shall be landscaped and may also include a pedestrian walkway. Exceptions to this requirement may be granted in the GI District for a use located in the interior of the district, not on the perimeter.
