(A) For the purposes of a master plan community, three types of streets shall be utilized to provide internal access to the development. The three types of streets are defined as:
(1) Minor street. Distributors within the master plan community that provide linkage with major streets outside the master plan community; and
(2) Marginal access street. Those streets which connect with minor streets to provide access to individual buildings within the master plan community.
(B) The street design of all master plan communities shall be in conformance with Title 9, Chapter 5, Subdivisions of the Greenville City Code, the Manual of Standards, Designs and Details, and Horizons 2026: Greenville’s Community Plan.
(C) Upon approval of the planning and zoning commission, interior roads that service multi-family dwellings (with the exception of single-family and two-family attached dwellings) or non-residential uses may be allowed to be constructed as private streets, subject to the requirements of Title 9, Chapter 5, Subdivisions, of the Greenville City Code. Where such private streets are allowed, a property owners’ association shall perpetually maintain such private streets in suitable conditions and state of repair for the city to provide normal delivery of services, including but not limited to, garbage pickup, police and fire protection. If at any time such private streets are not maintained by the property owners’ association and travel upon them becomes or will be hazardous or inaccessible to city service or emergency vehicles, the city may cause such repairs after a reasonable period of notification to the property owners’ association. In order to remove safety hazards and ensure the safety and protection for the development, the city may assess the cost of such repairs to the property owners’ association. The city shall have no obligation or responsibility for maintenance or repair of such private streets as a result of the normal delivery of services or otherwise by the city or others using such streets. No private street(s) shall be allowed unless a property owners’ association is established for the purpose of providing for and perpetually maintaining such streets. All private streets shall be dedicated to the city as utility and access easements. Where a private street serves only one lot under separate ownership the property owner of such lot shall assume all responsibilities, duties and liabilities of a property owners’ association under this section.
