(a) No person shall construct or redevelop a new residence, commercial, or industrial structure upon one or more parcels of land within the City without installing sidewalks within the right-of-way or other public ground abutting a public street on at least one side of each street. Such installation shall be in accordance to the provisions of this chapter. Residential parcels of land having more than 100 feet of frontage shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Director of Public Service, who shall decide if the installation of sidewalks are required at that location of new construction.
(b) For new construction located on a local street, sidewalks shall be installed only if a minimum of seventy-five percent of the properties located on such local street have existing sidewalks. For new construction on corner or "I-shaped" lots, a sidewalk shall be installed along the side yard of the corner lot only if seventy-five percent of the properties located on such street where the side yard is located have existing sidewalks. This provision shall not apply to the requirement to construct sidewalks in new major subdivisions, which requirement shall be governed by Section 1236.09 of the Codified Ordinances of the City.
