Buffer yards shall be provided in accordance with the express standards and criteria for a conditional use or special exception under Article IV.
(e)Â
This section shall not apply to development or uses limited
to the right-of-way.
D.Â
General provisions.
(1)Â
Existing vegetation. Every attempt should be made to preserve existing
vegetation when possible. Where trees already exist within the required
buffer area, these trees shall remain undisturbed, except that diseased
or dead material may be removed. In the event that existing vegetation
and/or existing topography provides screening which is adequate to
meet the intent of the required buffer area to screen the buildings,
activities and parking areas from adjoining properties, the Borough
Council, upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, may determine
that the existing topography and/or vegetation constitutes all or
part of the required buffer area. If such a determination is made,
the applicant may be required to record a conservation easement of
the depth specified by the Borough Council to guarantee that the existing
topography and/or vegetation will not be disturbed or removed from
the approved buffer area.
(2)Â
Any existing trees within the required buffer area which are a minimum
of four inches in diameter at a point one foot above the ground shall
be preserved to the extent possible and shall count as a required
tree within the buffer area. At no point, however, shall any existing
trees and required trees be separated at a distance greater than the
distance specified in the required buffer area.
(3)Â
Openings for driveways shall be permitted to cross a required buffer
area. Plantings in required buffer areas shall be located so as to
not obstruct visibility for traffic entering or leaving the site.
(4)Â
In the event that a site has elevation differences at the perimeter
of the site and the buildings and/or developed areas intended to be
screened, the buffer yard shall be moved to a location where plantings
are at the same elevation as the finished first floor or surface parking
lot elevation they are intended to screen.
(5)Â
Maintenance required. It shall be the responsibility of the owner/applicant
to assure the continued growth of all required landscaping and/or
to replace the same in the event of frost, vandalism, disease or other
reasons for the discontinued growth of the required trees, shrubs
and bushes. Replacement shall be no later than the subsequent planting
season.
(6)Â
Conflict between buffer areas and building setback requirements.
When the width of a required buffer area is in conflict with the minimum
building setback requirements of this chapter, the greater distance
shall apply. The buffer area planting requirement shall be adhered
to regardless of the setback requirement.
(7)Â
Stormwater management facilities in buffer areas. Stormwater management
facilities and structures may be maintained within a buffer area,
but the existence of such facilities or structures shall not be a
basis for a failure to meet the planting requirements.
E.Â
Plant sizes.
(1)Â
Deciduous trees. All trees required to be planted shall be a minimum
of two inches in diameter at a point one foot above the ground. All
required trees shall be a minimum of six feet in height at time of
planting measured from the ground adjacent to the planted tree to
the top of the tree.
(2)Â
Evergreen trees. All evergreen trees required to be planted shall
be a minimum of six feet in height at the time of planting measured
from the ground adjacent to the planted tree to the top of the tree.
(3)Â
Shrubs. All shrubs required to be planted shall be a minimum of will
be a minimum of 24 inches in height at planting.
(4)Â
Canopy trees. A deciduous tree planted primarily for its high crown
of foliage or overhead canopy. A canopy tree at maturity reaches a
height of at least 70 feet.
(5)Â
Understory trees. Trees planted primarily for their ornamental value
or for screening purposes. Deciduous understory trees generally do
not exceed 40 feet in height at maturity. Evergreen trees planted
to meet understory tree requirements may reach heights that exceed
40 feet at maturity.
(6)Â
Borough street trees. Before any trees are planted in the road right-of-way,
drawings of the proposed plantings shall be submitted for review to
the multi-municipal shade tree commission to be known as the "Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall
Shade Tree Commissior."
Lighting for all uses in the Borough shall meet the following
requirements:
A.Â
Nonresidential use lighting standards. All exterior parking lots,
driveways, vehicular access aisles, pedestrian access areas, sidewalks,
pathways, and loading spaces shall be sufficiently illuminated so
as to provide safe movements on site.
(1)Â
Illumination shall be by sharp cut-off fixtures with flush-mounted
lens cap, with the following exceptions.
(a)Â
Decorative streetlighting along private streets (not including
parking lot areas) are exempt from this requirement. However, streetlight
poles for decorative streetlighting shall not exceed 25 feet in height,
measured from finished grade to the top of the fixture.
(b)Â
Decorative lighting along pedestrian walkways in front of buildings
and in pedestrian plazas is exempt from this requirement. However,
light poles for the decorative lighting shall not exceed 15 feet in
height, measured from finished grade to the top of the fixture.
(2)Â
Fixtures (including those mounted on a building or other structure)
shall be mounted parallel to the ground surface, with the following
exceptions.
(a)Â
Decorative streetlighting along private streets, decorative
lighting along pedestrian walkways in front of buildings, and decorative

There shall be no direct or sky-reflected glare, whether from floodlights
or from high-temperature processes (for example, combustion or welding),
so as to be visible from within any residential district.
(6)Â
All site lighting including architectural, landscape, and canopy
lighting shall be from a concealed source that is not visible from
the property boundaries or public street right-of-way. Lighting associated
with a freestanding or building canopy shall be recessed into the
canopy.
(7)Â
Where elevation differences exist between a proposed development
and adjacent properties the direct source of lighting shall be shielded
from adjacent uses to the extent possible through the use of baffles
or shades.
B.Â
Residential use lighting standards.
(1)Â
For all residential uses that require parking lots that contain more
than 10 parking spaces, the proposed development shall comply with
the requirements of the nonresidential use lighting standards above.
(2)Â

D.Â
No fence or similar structure shall be permitted in any front yard
area or in front of any existing building line within the Borough
of Brentwood.
E.Â
No fence, wall, or similar structure having a height over four feet
shall be erected within Brentwood Borough. This provision shall not
apply to any requirement imposed by other ordinances or regulations
of Brentwood Borough for the enclosing of outside storage areas in
commercial districts. Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter,
any fence as defined herein, which is necessary or desirable for protection
of public Borough buildings and structures or for protection of the
public in the vicinity of public Borough buildings and structures,
may exceed a height of four feet if such greater height is duly approved
by Borough Council.
F.Â
In the construction of any fence permitted hereby, the ratio of open
area to closed or opaque area in the structure of said fence shall
not be less than one-to-one. Regardless of whether a particular fence
contains one or more than one place, set or group of closure or view-obstructing
structural members, compliance with the requirement of a one-to-one
ratio of open area to closed or opaque area shall be determined by
the ratio of said areas apparent to visual inspection of the fence
along a line of sight perpendicular to a plane or surface of the fence
facing outwardly from the area enclosed by the fence.
G.Â
With respect to any fence installed in Brentwood Borough, sharp or
protruding edges shall be prohibited, unless the sharp points or edges
are turned under. It shall be unlawful to erect or maintain in Brentwood
Borough any fence constructed in whole or in part of barbed wire or
saw-toothed wire. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter,
in circumstances in which it is necessary or desirable for the protection
of public Borough buildings and structures or for the protection of
the public in the vicinity of public Borough buildings and structures,
and if duly approved by Borough Council, barbed wire or saw-toothed
wire may be installed and maintained at a height of not less than
eight feet above ground surface around Borough public buildings and
structures, including but not limited to the Brentwood Park swimming
pool and the Brentwood Stadium light standards.
H.Â
Any variance from the height requirements, open portion requirements
or other requirements, restrictions or prohibitions for fences constructed,
maintained, repaired or modified in Brentwood Borough shall require

districts shall comply with the most recently adopted floodplain management
ordinance of Brentwood Borough as may be amended from time to time.
A.Â
Noise. The ambient noise level of any operation, other than those
exempted below, shall not exceed the decibel levels prescribed. The
sound pressure level or ambient level is the all-encompassing noise
associated with a given environment, being a composite of sounds from
any source, near and far. For the purpose of this chapter, ambient
noise level is the average decibel level recorded during observations
taken in accordance with industry standards for measurement and taken
at any time when the alleged offensive noise is audible, including
intermittent, but recurring, noise.
(1)Â
No operation or activity shall cause or create noise in excess of
the sound levels prescribed below:
(a)Â
Residential districts. At no point beyond the boundary of any
lot within these districts shall the exterior noise level resulting
from any use or activity located on such lot exceed a maximum of 60
dBA.
(b)Â
Nonresidential districts. At no point on or beyond the boundary
of any lot within these districts shall the exterior noise level resulting
from any use or activity located on such lot exceed a maximum of 65
dBA.
(c)Â
Where two or more zoning districts in which different noise
levels are prescribed share a common boundary, the most restrictive
noise level standards shall govern.
(2)Â
The following uses or activities shall be exempted from the noise
regulations:
(a)Â
Customary and usual farming activities in all zoning classifications.
(b)Â
Noises emanating from construction or maintenance activities
between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

H.Â
Determination of compliance with performance standards. During the
review of an application for zoning approval, the applicant may be
required to submit data and evidence documenting that the proposed
activity, facility or use will comply with the provisions of this
section. In reviewing such documentation, the Borough may seek the
assistance of any public agency having jurisdiction or interest in
the particular issues and the Borough may seek advice from a qualified
technical expert. All costs of the expert's review and report shall
be paid by the applicant. A negative report by the technical expert
and the applicant's refusal or inability to make alterations to ensure
compliance with this section shall be a basis for denying approval
of the application.
