Along many property lines a buffer would not be required by zoning since the lots abut other I Industrial sites.Where a buffer would be required,fencing was legal non-conforming in every case and would require an upgrade (adding shrubs, trees, or made solid)to meet current standards. I put together a visual document to show what the zoning ordinance would require at each site and current conditions. I've also attached the page from the ZO that calls out various buffer types.
