orderly manner, and to permit those facilities that are necessary

the work to be done, with assurance of completion and future maintenance,
shall be filed with and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission
before such lot or portions thereof may be used for commercial purposes.
The buffer strip shall be located on the lot devoted to the commercial
or industrial use. Failure to maintain such strip in good condition
