Eagle Point City Zoning Code

It is impractical, by reason of cost and safety, to make every new or existing street in the city wide enough and safe enough to accommodate both neighborhood and arterial traffic volumes and congestion. The general plan of streets and roads has therefore assigned a classification designation to each roadway based upon existing or planned future use. This classification plan is the basis upon which regulations and standards in this chapter are based. The purpose of this chapter is to require standards of land use and improvements adequate to meet existing and future pedestrian, vehicular and utility requirements for the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of adjoining property and the city. It is also the purpose of this chapter to keep the cost of acquiring lands, the movement of buildings, inconvenience to residents and movement of utility services to a minimum through these standards.

The classification of streets and roads in and adjacent to the city of Eagle Point will be shown and designated upon maps hereto made a part of this title by reference and titled "City of Eagle Point General Plan of Streets and Highways." The original of this plan, including any changes or amendments thereto, shall be kept on file in City Hall. In the absence of a city general plan, EPMC § 17.56.030 shall apply.

No building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued, or construction be authorized, for the development of lands abutting any public street or highway shown on the general plan of streets and highways as herein adopted or planned highway right-of-way lines until and unless the right-of-way for such public street or highway has been dedicated to or vested in the city of Eagle Point.
