This requirement applies when such equipment is necessary for the operation of a building or structure. The ordinance specifies various methods for screening, including densely planted evergreen shrubs at least five feet tall, solid and uniform fences or masonry walls of at least five feet in height surrounding the equipment, or extensions of parapet walls, mansard roof lines, structural, or ornamental screens. The document also includes a guarantee form for property owners or agents to affirm their commitment to implement the required screening prior to a final inspection by the Zoning Office. Non-compliance with this ordinance will result in a violation of the City of Ocean City Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Office serves as the point of contact for this regulation.
