(a) For single-family and two-family dwellings, residential driveways that provide access to a garage are limited in width dependent upon the designated motor vehicle capacity of the garage in factors of twelve (12) feet per space within the garage. In the event that a driveway exceeds twenty-four (24) feet in width, the driveway is permitted to extend for a distance of twenty (20) feet from the garage doors before tapering back to the maximum driveway width of twenty-four (24) feet. For driveways extended from attached garages located twenty-five (25) feet or less from the lot line, the driveway is permitted to be width of attached garage with no tapering required on private property. The apron shall then be a maximum of twenty-four (24) feet.
(b) Driveways must be located no closer than three (3) feet from the side and rear lot line. However, a residential driveway may be shared by adjacent lots and constructed on the lot line. This shared driveway location is only allowed if agreed to by the owners of each lot. This agreement will then be filed with the County Recorder for perpetual use.
(c) Residential driveways must be surfaced with Portland cement concrete, bituminous asphalt, brick or concrete pavers placed with gaps not exceeding one quarter inch and shall be graded and drained to prevent surface water accumulation. Paving with pervious or semi-pervious materials, such as permeable pavers, porous asphalt, and porous concrete is permitted, but must be able to withstand the impact of vehicular traffic. Gravel, wood chips, and other unfinished materials are prohibited.
(d) Vehicles parked on the premises of any parcel that is residentially zoned shall be located on a designated driveway that is installed and maintained in accordance Section 1133.16(c). Parking on front or side yards is prohibited.
