A. Driveway Widths. Driveways shall be the same width as the curb openings, not including the transitions. They must be within the width limitations noted on Engineering Standard No. 2120. Exceptions may be granted in special circumstances by the city engineer or community development director. Unless authorized by the city engineer, property owner, adjacent property owner and the community development director, the driveway ramp and transition must lie entirely in front of the property served. The fire department may require greater driveway widths to allow for proper emergency vehicle access.

B. Number of Driveways Permitted. Only one driveway is allowed per street frontage for residential property unless the frontage exceeds seventy feet, then a maximum of thirty percent of the frontage may be in driveways. The total width of all driveways to commercial or industrial property shall not exceed fifty percent of the frontage of the property. Additional restrictions may be placed on driveways entering arterial streets in order to minimize the disruption to traffic.

C. Abandoned Driveways and Driveway ramps. As a condition of issuance of any driveway permit, all abandoned driveways and driveway ramps on the same property shall be removed, landscaped and the curb, gutter and sidewalk properly restored. (Ord. 1156 § 3 (1) Ex. A (K), 1990)
