(c)

Standards.

(2)

When abutting a residential use, a six-foot high opaque wall or fence shall be provided along rear and side property lines around any outdoor child play area.

(3)

In single-family districts, new day care facilities should be architecturally compatible with houses in the immediate neighborhood in terms of materials and fenestration.

(4)

Child day care centers shall orient all play areas and provide buffering and separation so as to prevent adverse impacts to adjacent properties.
