Buffer park strips . Where a mobile home park site adjoins land used for a railroad right-of-way, an industrial area, a commercial area or other land use which would have a depreciating effect on the residential use of the land, a buffer park strip of not less than 30 feet in width shall be provided. Buffer park strips shall comply with the following regulations:
a.
Landscaping. Screen planting shall be provided in sufficient density and of sufficient height (but in no case less than eight feet two years after planting) to afford protection to the mobile home park site from glare of lights, from blowing paper, dust and debris, from visual encroachment, and to effectively reduce the transmission of noise. Screen planting shall be maintained in a clean and neat condition.

Use of land. No part of a buffer park strip shall be used for any purpose other than screen planting unless such screen planting is provided adjacent to the nonresidential use or district in sufficient depth and density to accomplish the purpose of protection, in which case as much as 20 feet of the required 30 feet may be used for parking or other open space uses or service uses not in conflict with the purpose of protection nor in violation of any other provisions of this ordinance.
