A berm around the perimeter of the site is required unless the operator can demonstrate
that one is not necessary to mitigate noise and visual impacts. The side slopes of
the berm shall not exceed 1.5:1 ratio. Berms shall be at least eight feet in height.
The approval authority may reduce the required berm height below eight feet if resulting
noise impacts will not exceed the applicable standard and any resulting visual impacts
will be consistent with the purposes of this chapter. Berms shall be planted and erosion
control measures shall be taken as may be approved by the approval authority. Planting
and berms shall begin at a point not closer to a street than the ultimate right-of-way
line. The approval authority may require additional planting pursuant to Chapter 20.45 TCC. The approval authority shall consider site conditions, proximity to residential
uses, and existing views from neighboring properties, in setting specific conditions
for landscaping, screening and berming, including increased berm height.
