(A) Existing stub streets or rights-of-way shall be extended through the development site to adjacent vacant properties or streets.
(1) This requirement may be waived by the City Engineer and the Director of Planning and Development if the extension is infeasible due to physical constraints or if the extension would create an inappropriate connection between incompatible uses.
(2) If the extension is waived by the City Engineer and the Director of Planning and Development, the street shall be terminated in an appropriate manner to adequately serve all lots.
(B) Residential developments adjacent to vacant parcels shall provide street connections that stub into the vacant parcels to provide future connections.
(1) This requirement may be waived by the City Engineer and the Director of Planning and Development if the extension is infeasible due to physical constraints.
(C) Commercial developments shall provide for vehicular and pedestrian connections to adjacent commercial developments. If the adjacent property is already developed, the proposed development shall provide for the future connection through easements or other appropriate measures.
(D) Industrial zoned properties shall not be required to provide connections to adjacent properties.
(E) Waiver procedure. If these standards are not waived by the City Engineer and the Director of Planning and Development, an applicant may request a waiver from the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall consider the following:
(1) The special circumstances of the proposed use.
(2) Whether the waiver will have an adverse impact on the public health, safety and welfare.
(3) Whether site constraints make the improvements economically unfeasible.
