A safe view from the driveway shall be achieved by having no structures or vegetation that exceeds forty-two inches in height within an area that is defined as a right-angle triangle that has one side fifteen feet (15') parallel with the sidewalk and another side fifteen feet (15') parallel with the driveway with a triangular connection between these two sides and along both sides of a driveway, creating two such triangles. This shall apply to both sides of a lot and shall include any area within the side yard setback area, adjacent to the front yard. This is also recommended for any driveway within the side street yard setback area of a comer lot, subject to review and approval by the Community Development Director or designee.

Child Safety Visual Corridor. In order to preserve and promote safe passageways for children walking to and from schools, libraries, and public parks along city sidewalks, no structure over 42" in height shall be constructed within ten (10) feet of a public sidewalk that is within one-half of a mile from a school, library, or public park.

Sidewalk Safety Setback. There shall be a minimum four-foot (4') safety setback area from the front property line for any structure over forty-two inches (42") in height to assure adequate protection and to allow adequate space to maintain the public right-of-way. This setback is required to inhibit any unauthorized encroachments into the public right-of-way from both above ground and underground improvements (e.g., foundations.) Any dispute regarding the location of the front property line shall be resolved through a property line survey prepared for the property owner and at the property owner's expense.

The property owner is hereby notified that any structure constructed in the front yard is done at their risk and may be damaged by tree roots and/or branch fall. The property owner shall be fully responsible for the installation of any required root barriers and for the maintenance and repair of any building damage caused by tree root intrusion or tree debris fall. The city seeks to preserve existing street trees and minimize any potential structural damage and any resultant liability caused thereby. Each property owner has a responsibility to protect and properly maintain their on-site structures from potential dangers and a responsibility to notify the city of any unsafe conditions when observed.

Utility Line Protection. No habitable structure in the front yard shall be constructed or proposed to be constructed over any underground utility line. Any conflicting utility line (e.g., gas, water, sewer, electrical, low voltage cable, or fiber optic cable) shall be relocated at the property owner's expense, so that it is outside of the footprint of any proposed front yard habitable structure. This reduces conflicts with any future land division that places separate detached units on individual lots, as allowed by state law to assure that each unit has their utility connections on the resultant lot.

Asphaltic concrete ("asphalt") is not an allowed driveway surface for single-family residential uses.

Driveway Width. The driveway width shall be no wider than ten (10) feet for each off-street parking space to which it leads (e.g., 20 feet wide driveway for a two-car garage or carport.) Every single-family dwelling unit shall provide off-street parking in compliance with Section 9490 and Subsection 9490.T. of this code and shall have a minimum of two off-street parking spaces for either one or two dwelling units on a single-family residential lot, except and as specified by Section 9321, unless otherwise waived, or modified by state law.

Sixty percent (60%) for lots with forty-five (45) feet or more of frontage.

Eighty percent (80%) for lots with less than forty-five (45) feet of frontage and more than thirty (30) feet of frontage.

Ninety percent (90%) for lots with thirty (30) feet of frontage or less. Such lots shall have a minimum of forty (40) square feet of organic material.

Organic materials including bark, mulch, ground cover plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees.

Artificial turf.

Decomposed granite.

Decorative rock no greater than four inches (4") in diameter.

Walkway Parking Prohibited. There shall be no vehicle parking on any portion of any front yard walkway, except as otherwise allowed by this Code or administrative directive.

Passenger Walkway. An FYHA or FYLA hardscape area no more than two feet wide (2') may be added adjacent to the allowed driveway for the purpose of passengers exiting a vehicle.

Front Entry Walkway. An FYHA and/or FYLA hardscape area no wider than six feet (6') that leads to the front residence entry door from the public sidewalk or other site access points (e.g. driveway or side yards.) When the walkway is parallel to the driveway and either connects to the public sidewalk or connects to the driveway within six feet (6') of the public sidewalk, the walkway shall be separated from the allowed driveway by a landscape planter with turf or other organic material that has an average width of three feet (3') or wider. Where terrain (e.g. elevated yard) or the residence entry door location require access directly from the driveway, the walkway shall be limited to be no more than four feet (4') wide from the adjacent edge of the driveway and may extend from the public sidewalk to the front entry door of the residence.
