 Article 1-7. PARKING, LOADING AND CIRCULATION REGULATIONS

  § 1-7-6. PRIVATE STREET STANDARDS.

Latest version.
  • (A) Private streets shall be a minimum of 28 feet in unobstructed width of paved surface (back of curb to back of curb, if curbs are installed) with a 20-foot by 20-foot cutoff at intersections or a minimum turning radius of 20 feet. Narrower private streets may be permitted subject to City Council, review and approval.
    (B) A private street may be permitted where its use is logically consistent with a desire for neighborhood identification and control of access and where special design concepts may be involved, such as within planned development areas, manufactured home developments, subdivisions or with CUPs.
    (C) Private streets shall be subject to Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, City Council approval and the following requirements:
    (1) Paving shall be installed according to City Engineering Guidelines for public residential streets, or in accordance with subdivision regulations, if applicable. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks and streetlights may be required by the Council. Alternative paving surfaces may be permitted by the Development Services Engineer;
    (2) Other requirements may be imposed by the Council for vehicular and pedestrian safety, utilities and emergency vehicle access;
    (3) Private streets shall not be allowed if, in the opinion of the City Council, a public street would better serve the public health, safety and welfare, or the location of the private access way presents a potential hazard to vehicular or pedestrian traffic at the intersection of the private street with a public street; and
    (4) City approvals shall be required for private streets. The design engineer shall be responsible that their design meets the geometrical and structural street design requirements and policies in accordance with general engineering standards. Testing and inspection for conformance of construction to minimum requirements of approved plans shall be the responsibility of the developer, who shall provide the city with proof that the requirements have been satisfied prior to project acceptance.
    (5) The maintenance of private streets is a continuing obligation of the property owners and/or homeowner's association. Streets shall be kept in a clean, safe and well maintained condition. More, specifically, the property owner and/or homeowner's association shall restore the street to its original approved condition if parking surface areas become deteriorated and/or emit dust particles into the air, as determined by the Development Services Engineer.
