Vehicular access to each residential dwelling unit shall be provided by either a public right-of-way or a private vehicular way owned by the individual lot owner in fee or in common ownership with the owners of dwelling units in the PRD. Dwelling units shall not have individual vehicular access onto arterial highways. Access and circulation shall adequately provide for fire-fighting equipment, furniture moving vans, refuse collection and deliveries.

2. All private streets must be constructed to standards approved by the Director of Engineering to ensure against premature deterioration and excessive maintenance cost, and shall be constructed to widths meeting city standards unless the goals and objectives of the city can be met by other means.
3. A private street shall have a minimum travel width of 28 feet where no parking is permitted, 32 feet where parallel parking is permitted on one side of the street and 36 feet where parallel parking is permitted on both sides of said private street. Exceptions to these standards may be granted in special cases such as a one-way street, single-loaded street, or a street serving five or less dwelling units. All widths are measured curb face to curb face.
C. Gated entry standards:
1. Gated entry access, when proposed as part of a PRD, shall be part of the concept plan approval.
2. A proposal to add gated entry access to an existing PRD shall be subject to the review and approval of the Zoning Administrator. Special attention shall be placed on access width, turnaround areas, stacking distance, emergency vehicle access, pedestrian entries, communication devices and lighting. The decision of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed pursuant to Chapter 15.76 of this title.
