2.

Unenclosed parking spaces next to either: walls of adjacent buildings, fences, buildings or property lines shall be separated from such structures or property lines by a minimum three (3′) feet of landscaped area, except for areas needed for automobile and pedestrian access.

3.

Backup areas and driveways shall have a minimum of one (1′) foot of landscaped separation from walls, fences, buildings or property lines.

b.
