Due to changes which may occur in a local neighborhood as a result of increased vehicular traffic that may be generated by facilities requiring a site plan permit, and upon the principle that such development should be required to provide street dedications and improvements proportionate to offset said increased vehicular traffic, the following dedications and improvements may be deemed necessary by the Site Plan Review Committee and may be required as a condition of approval for any site plan.
(A) If the development borders, or is traversed by, an existing street, the applicant may be required to:
(1) Dedicate all necessary rights-of-way to widen a bordering minor or collector street to allow for parking and one travel lane on the development side, plus one travel lane and a four-foot wide, paved shoulder on the non-development side, pursuant to adopted improvement standards;
(2) Dedicate all necessary rights-of-way to widen a traversing minor or collector street to its ultimate width, as determined and required by established city standards for such minor or collector street(s);
(3) Dedicate all necessary rights-of-way to widen a bordering or traversing arterial street to its ultimate width, as determined and required by established city standards for such major street(s);
(4) Install curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street signs, street lights, and street trees along one side of a bordering, or along both sides of a traversing, minor, collector, or arterial street;
(5) Install utilities and drainage facilities to the full extent of service requirements generated by the development;
(6) Grade and improve traversing minor streets from curb to curb;
(7) Grade and improve parking lane, one traffic lane, and a minimum four-foot, paved shoulder, adjacent to the development along any bordering collector or arterial street; and,
(8) Grade and improve to the full width, a traversing collector or arterial street.
(B) All new streets shall be dedicated and improved in accordance with the requirements of division (A) of this section.
(C) All improvements shall be to city standards existing at the time the site plan is approved and shall be installed simultaneously with the approved development. Where it is determined by the Community and Economic Development Director that it is impractical to install any or all improvements simultaneously with the approved development, a written agreement to make such improvements by an identified future date may be accepted in lieu thereof. Without regard to the timing of the improvements, the applicant shall enter into a written agreement with the city identifying all improvements to be made and memorializing the city’s and applicant’s understanding and agreement, rights and responsibilities, relating to said improvements before any building permit may be issued.
(D) Fire hydrants, as per applicable city requirements.
