Carroll County Unincorporated
City Zoning Code

2.2

Access

A.

All lots and parcels shall be accessed from a county road other than Northside Drive, or private road approved by the county. No lot or parcel shall have direct access from a transportation corridor unless specifically approved by the county in accordance with the spacing standards in table 2.1 of this appendix.

B.

Inter-parcel vehicle access points shall be provided between all contiguous commercial, office or industrial tracts. This requirement may be waived if the applicant demonstrates that an inter-parcel connection is not feasible due to traffic safety or unusual topographic concerns, or the properties both access a street that renders the inter-parcel access unnecessary.

C.

Undivided driveways shall not exceed 24 feet in width.

D.

Driveways and streets shall be separated in accordance with the spacing standards in table 2.1:
