(a) Curb cuts and driveways shall conform to the following requirements in all industrial zoned districts:
The provisions established for curb cuts and driveways in section 25-39 for business zoned districts shall prevail in all industrial zoned districts for properties fronting on a through street, as defined in this Code, or on a major street as shown on the latest major streets and routes plan on file with the city engineer.
(b) If the property does not front on a through or major street, only the following provisions shall prevail:
Minimum distance of curb cut from street light standards or catch basins . . . . . 5 feet
Minimum distance from a fire hydrant or city water hydrant . . . . . 20 feet
Minimum distance from end of a curb return . . . . . 4 feet
OR
from the curbline on a cross street at a street intersection . . . . . 23 feet
whichever is the more restrictive.
(Ord. No. 2657, § 1, 10-19-64)
(1) The area has peculiar, visible conditions not ordinarily existing in similar areas; or
(2) The nature of the business on the property is exceptional; or
(3) The nature of the abutting property is exceptional; and
(4) The variance is not against the public interest, safety, convenience or general welfare.
(Ord. No. 2657, § 1, 10-19-64)
(a) No property owner shall be denied a reasonable driveway access to his property. However, where there is not an adequate extension of a driveway within the private property to park a vehicle entirely off the right-of-way, a curb cut shall be denied.
(b) Where there is not adequate parking area for the use to which the property is put, to park off the right-of-way, or where there is not adequate area to maneuver safely in and out, and to preclude backing into the street, a curb cut shall be denied. A minimum of forty (40) feet of depth for right-angle parking shall be required from all street property lines for this purpose.
(Ord. No. 2657, § 1, 10-19-64)
Where private property use has been modified so that an existing curb cut is no longer needed, or where Code provisions do not permit curb cuts at existing locations, the traffic engineer, for the promotion of traffic safety and public convenience, may require the abutting property owner to replace the curb at his expense as follows:
(1) The traffic engineer shall order the abutting property owner to replace the curb stating the reason.
(2) The owner shall either protest, and show cause in writing why the curb should not be replaced within thirty (30) days, or commence the work within sixty (60) days.
(3) The protest shall be reviewed by the director of public works and city manager, who may uphold the traffic engineer or revoke or modify his order.
(4) If the abutting owner fails to comply with the order the city may do the work and bill the owner for the cost.
