Planned street improvements as shown on the city's master traffic and transportation plan, including swales, curb, gutter, sidewalk, paved street, turnabout space, and fire hydrants shall be installed on all public street frontages as shown on such plan and in conformance with city construction standards as condition of issuing a building permit for new development or remodeling of a structure that exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the structure's value, when such improvements do not exist or are not financed for construction.
A. Use Changes: Use changes from lesser to greater intensity shall require the installation of frontage improvements consistent with the intended use as reasonably determined by the planning commission.
B. Extent Of Improvements: When the size of a lot or parcel exceeds minimum zone requirements, the planning commission may determine the extent of the required improvements if the frontage adjoining a public street is, in its judgment, excessive based on cost calculations reviewed by the city engineer. However, frontage improvements shall be provided for no less than the minimum lot width required by the zone in which the lot or parcel is located.
C. Dedication And Construction Of Improvements: When widening of a public street is planned, as shown on the city's master traffic and transportation plan, street right of way and frontage improvements associated with proposed development shall be dedicated to the public and improved without cost to the city to the extent the development creates a demand for such improvements as determined by the planning commission after receiving a recommendation from the city engineer.
D. Appeals: If a street dedication and improvement requirement is alleged to not be proportional to the demand created by new development, such requirement may be appealed pursuant to section 2-4-060 of this code. (Ord. 394, 8-7-2001)
