17.01 PURPOSE
The screening and buffering standards are intended to improve the appearance of Tiffin streetscapes for the benefit of its citizens; to create aesthetically pleasing and functional living environments; to protect and enhance property values; and to provide for transitions between dissimilar uses. This section contains a menu of screening tools collectively referred to as "S-series standards". These standards are applied in situations where uses, activities, materials, or equipment must be separated from or screened from view of public ways, other zones, or adjacent properties.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
