A. Driveway Spacing From Street Intersections: On corner lots, driveways must be constructed as far away from the intersection as possible while maintaining the driveway spacing standards specified in subsection B of this section. In addition to this general standard, the following standards apply, based on the functional classification of the street.
1. Along local streets and collector streets, there must be a minimum of twenty feet (20') between the end of a radius of a street intersection and the beginning of a driveway curb cut as measured at the curb line, except as required in the subsection A2 of this section.
2. Along collector streets, where they intersect with arterial streets, there must be a minimum of fifty feet (50') between the end of a radius of a street intersection and the beginning of a driveway curb cut as measured at the curb line.
3. Along arterial streets, there must be a minimum of one hundred fifty feet (150') between the end of a radius of a street intersection and the beginning of a driveway curb cut as measured at the curb line.
4. Additional distance between the radius of a street intersection and the beginning of a driveway curb cut may be required by the city where deemed necessary due to high traffic volumes or other safety concerns.
5. The city may adjust the driveway spacing standards so that driveways line up with existing driveways across the street.
B. Minimum Spacing Between Driveways:
1. Along arterial streets, there must be at least fifty feet (50') between curb cuts, measured at the curb line. No portion of a driveway may be constructed within twenty five feet (25') of a side property line extended, except when a common driveway agreement has been reached with an adjacent property owner and is of record.
2. Along local and collector streets, there must be at least six feet (6') between curb cuts, measured at the curb line. No portion of a driveway may be constructed closer than three feet (3') to a side property line extended, except when a common driveway agreement has been reached with an adjacent property owner and is of record.
C. Modifications To Driveway Spacing Standards: If it can be demonstrated that there is practical difficulty meeting a driveway spacing standard contained in this section due to topographical limitations, natural features of the site, or other circumstances peculiar to the property in question, a property owner may request a modification or waiver of said standard according to the applicable approval criteria for a minor modification as set forth in chapter 4, article B of this title.
