Title 12 STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND PUBLIC PLACES
Chapter 12.12 PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS
12.12.020 Permit required.
No driveway shall be constructed which intersects a public street unless a
permit has first been obtained from the city for such construction. The permit
shall be applied for in the same manner as are building permits. If a private
drive is to be built in conjunction with the construction of a structure for
which a building permit is required, the driveway permit may be issued as a part
of the building permit. Fees for driveway permits shall be computed in the same
manner as for building permits. There shall be submitted with the application
for a driveway permit a plan of the driveway showing its width, location of
entry to the street in reference to intersections or curves and its proximity to
fire hydrants, transformer pads and any other obstructions located in the public
right-of-way. There shall also be submitted the profile of the centerline of the
proposed private drive showing the percent of grade along its entire length and
the length and design of transitional vertical curves. Elevations of the
driveway at its entrance to the street and at its terminus shall be shown. On
review of the plan and profile and payment of all fees required, the building
official shall issue a permit for construction if the plan and profile meet the
requirements of this section. (Prior code § 9.061)
