A. Purpose:
1. The provisions of this section are established to accomplish the following:
a. Provide a range of thoroughfare types to support the intended physical character of each zone.
b. Provide only thoroughfares that are multi-modal and interconnected in a network that disperses vehicular traffic with multiple routes to destinations.
c. Ensure that streets serve the needs of all users (automobiles, transit and service vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists).
B. General Thoroughfare Type Standards:
1. This section identifies the allowed thoroughfare types consistent with the intended physical character of each Form-Based Zone.
2. The individual standards of each thoroughfare type in this section may be adjusted as part of the subdivision process. In considering adjustments, the Director of Public Works and the Director shall find that the proposed adjustment meets the following criteria:
a. Supports the intended physical character of the zone abutting the thoroughfare(s).
b. Maintains multiple modes of transportation (transit, pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles).
c. Maintains sidewalks at least six feet (6') wide.
d. Maintains on-street parking for a majority of each block face.
e. Maintains regularly spaced street trees.
3. Street trees shall be installed in the right-of-way by the owner.
a. Where adjacent property will remain undeveloped, street trees shall be planted prior to acceptance of public improvements.
b. Where adjacent property will be developed, trees shall be planted prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each adjacent lot, with the following exception:
(1) Where street trees cannot be installed prior to occupancy or commencement of a use due to seasonal conditions that may reduce survivability, the building official may grant a delay of installation until the seasonal calendar dates of June 1 or November 1, whichever occurs first, and the property owner must place in an escrow account, established with the City, an amount which will cover one hundred ten percent (110%) of the estimated cost of plants and installation.
