(a) General. The location, width and number of driveways serving off-street parking facilities shall be planned in such a manner as to interfere as little as possible with the use of adjacent property and the flow of traffic on the street system.
(b) Number of Driveways. To the maximum extent feasible, the number of curb cuts shall be minimized by consolidation, shared driveways or other means.
(c) Driveway Depth. Parking spaces shall not be located along entry drives within twenty (20) feet of the right-of-way or easement line (and at greater distances as may be required by the Planning Commission depending on traffic generation and parking lot size).
(d) Forward Movement. Parking facilities shall be designed so that all vehicles may be driven forward into the street, except for one and two-family dwellings located on local residential streets. One and two-family dwellings located on streets designed as collector streets or arterial streets as shown on the City's Thoroughfare Plan or Comprehensive Plan shall comply with this provision. (Ord. 109-14. Passed 6-23-14.)
(e) Driveway Width. The width of driveways at the curb line and at the right-of-way line shall comply with the requirements in Table 2. The Commission may permit wider driveways for three or more entrance/exit lanes for those drives with a high volume of traffic. In the case of a four-lane drive, the lanes shall be designed as two adjacent entrance and exit lanes divided by a minimum six-foot wide barrier.
