What does Buffer Zone mean in American Law?

The definition of Buffer Zone in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

A strip of land, of variable width, established between two others to help mitigate or eliminate conflict between them. The conflict may be aesthetic, e.g., between an industrial and residential area in a city, the buffer zone being established by the zoning board to contain uses transitional between those in the separated areas. A buffer zone between hostile nations is also sometimes established in order to decrease border frictions and the ease of sudden attack. In such cases the buffer zone is usualy also a demilitarized zone.
