(A) Street design. Street design shall conform in principle to the streets shown on the circulation element of the general plan and in width and alignment to the streets shown on any precise plan adopted by the City Council relating to streets and shall conform to the requirements of this chapter.
(B) Dedication of land. The subdivider shall be required to dedicate all land necessary for street purposes as shown on the general plan or any precise plan or to conform to the provisions of this chapter.
(C) Improvements. Improvements shall be made to conform to the requirements of the City Council and to the Standard Specifications.
(D) Location. The location of a freeway, expressway, arterial or collector street shall be as shown on the general plan, a precise plan, or as otherwise designated by the City Council.
(E) The street system. In the proposed subdivision, streets shall relate functionally to the existing streets in the area adjoining the subdivision.
(F) The centerlines. The centerlines of all streets wherever practicable shall be the continuation of the centerline of existing streets, or shall be offset at least 100 feet.
(G) Street intersection. Intersections shall not be at such an angle that the intersection is dangerous or awkward.
(H) Cul-de-sac or dead-end streets. Dead-end streets where necessary to give access to, or permit a satisfactory future subdivision of adjoining land, shall extend to the boundary of the property and the resulting dead-end street may be approved without a turn-around. In all other districts a cul-de-sac or a comparable area in another form shall be required, separated to the depth of one lot from the exterior boundary line or other topographical feature of the subdivision. No dead-end street shall be more than 500 feet in length.
(I) Curve radius. The centerline curve radius of all streets and highways shall conform to accepted engineering standards of design and shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer but shall not be less than 50 feet.
(J) Rounding of intersection corners. At all street intersections the block corners shall be rounded at the property line with a curve having a radius of not less than 20 feet. Where street intersections are not at right angles, greater curve radius may be required.
(K) Grades. No streets or highways shall have a grade of more than 6%, or less than 0.15%, except when approved by the City Engineer.
(L) Street names. All street names shall be approved by the City Council. Duplication of existing names within the county will not be allowed unless the streets are obviously in alignment with existing streets and likely to sometime be a continuation of the other street. At least one street in each subdivision is encouraged to be named after an historically prominent city resident from a list as approved by the Planning Commission from time to time.
(M) Street name signs. Each subdivider shall pay to the city at the time of approval of the final map as condition of such approval an amount for each street name sign required in the subdivision.
(N) Street improvements. The following street improvements shall be required on streets which are along and adjacent to the boundary of a subdivision:
(1) Regardless of any other provisions in this division, a street which is fronting city-owned property shall be constructed by the developer to its full width including curbs, gutters, sidewalks, storm drainage, and pavement. Provision shall be made to reimburse the developer for the cost of construction of any facilities not required by the subdivision.
(2) Existing streets with a planned right-of-way width of 60 feet or less. The street shall be constructed with full street improvements to the centerline of the existing street. Improvement of the street past the centerline will only be required when the other driving lane is inadequate to serve the needs of the proposed subdivision.
(3) New streets with a planned right-of-way width of 60 feet or less. The street shall be constructed to a 40-foot part-width standard to provide for two driving lanes, one parking lane and curb, gutter and sidewalk adjacent to the parking lane.
(a) Any part-width street so approved shall be at least 40 feet in width unless the City Council approves a lesser width as set forth in Cal. Streets & Highways Code § 1805. Such approval for a part-width street of less than 40 feet shall be based on the following factors:
1. The extension of the street is along a property line which forms the boundary of the subdivision and the necessary width for a 40-foot part-width street; is not dedicated and the City Council decides not to pursue dedication; or is not dedicated and the City Council cannot obtain title to the property within 120 days of approval of the map.
2. Adherence to the 40-foot part-width standards would create an off-set in the center of the subdivision.
3. The public interest in having a street without an off-set in the centerline thereof outweighs the general public policy, set forth above, in having all part-width streets a minimum of 40 feet in width.
(b) In cases in which a part-width street is allowed that is less than 40 feet in width, on-street parking may be prohibited until such time as a minimum of 40 feet of the street is improved.
(4) New streets with a planned right-of-way width of more than 60 feet. The street shall be fully constructed from the centerline of the street to the property being subdivided.
(O) Streets and highways. Streets and highways not shown on any other master street and highway plan or not affected by proceedings initiated by the Council shall not be of less width than those set forth herein. Increased widths may be required when streets are to serve commercial property or when probable traffic conditions warrant such. Approval or determination of the required width, in the absence of an approved master plan of streets and highways, shall be made by the City Council.
(P) Street widths.
(1) Freeways and expressways. Freeways and expressways shall have a right-of-way as determined by the Governmental Agency.
(2) Arterials. Arterials shall have a minimum of right-of-way as established in the circulation element of the general plan.
(3) Collector streets. Collector streets shall have a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet and a minimum paved width of 40 feet between curb faces.
(4) Local streets. Local streets shall have a minimum right-of-way of 50 feet and a minimum paved street width of 36 feet between curb faces.
(5) Minor industrial streets. Minor industrial streets shall have a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet and a minimum paved street width of 50 feet.
(6) Cul-de-sac. A cul-de-sac shall have a maximum length of 500 feet measured from the centerline of the intersecting street to the center of the turnaround. The radius of the turn-around at the property lines shall be 50 feet. Right-of-way and street width of a cul-de-sac shall conform to that of a local street.
