This chapter is intended to insure that adequate space is provided in appropriate locations for the planned expansion, extension, or realignment of public streets. Further, it is intended to allow for the safe utilization of streets once developed.

This section is to be used in conjunction with other general ordinances of the city which affect public improvements, roads, highways, etc. (Ord. 740 section 107.10, 1984; Ord. 1338, 2010)

   C.   The Public Works Director shall be responsible for establishing and updating appropriate alignments for all streets.

   D.   No building permit shall be issued for the construction of a new structure within the planned right-of-way of a new street, or the appropriate setback from such a street as established in Division III.
