The installation and the type of monuments shall be in accordance with the pertinent provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, Title 18 of the Chico Municipal Code, and the improvement standards.
(Res. No. 9 77-78 (part))
The design of crossing protection facilities shall be the subdivider’s responsibility subject to the requirements of the State of California Public Utilities Commission. The facilities shall be installed by the affected railroad company subject to any necessary permits and agreements.
(Res. No. 9 77-78 (part))
Public right-of-way improvements, as required by Title 14 of this code and which are not part of a subdivision, shall be constructed in accordance with these design criteria and improvement standards except as follows:
A. Street improvements (including but not limited to curb, gutter, sidewalk, storm drainage facilities, and street lighting) shall be required from lot or parcel property line to the edge of existing street pavement, or beyond as may be needed to maintain a maximum five percent (5%) shoulder cross slope on said existing street.
B. In lieu of constructing alley improvements, an alley improvement fee shall be paid as established by resolution of the city council, except that alley improvements shall be constructed in the following cases:
1. All non-residential development;
2. All property uses permitted subject to a use permit in an R-3 high density residence district, and all residential development of four (4) or more dwelling units on a parcel, which utilize the adjacent alley for access.
When improvement of an alley is required, it shall be constructed between the property and the nearest street as well as along the full width of the property abutting the alley. The community development director may determine that an alley improvement fee be paid where alley construction would otherwise be required in the event it is determined that grade constraints or extensive storm drainage requirements make construction impractical.
C. Where adjacent existing improvements do not meet current criteria, the director may elect to alter the criteria so that proposed improvements match existing improvements in the most practical, yet satisfactory manner.
