10-12-1: BUSINESSES REQUIRING ACCESS:

Service stations, roadside stands, public parking lots, and all other businesses requiring motor vehicles access shall meet the requirements as hereinafter provided or as prescribed in the Utah Department of Transportation manual entitled "Manual for the Accommodation of Utilities and the Control and Protection of State Highway Rights of Way" (whichever requirements are greater). Access to State highways is controlled and regulated by Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) regulations. (Ord. 18-01, 1-16-2018)

10-12-2: ROADWAYS AND CURBS:

Access to the station or other structure or parking lot shall be controlled as follows:
   A.   Access shall be by not more than three (3) roadways for each one hundred feet (100') or fraction thereof of frontage on any street, and in no event shall such roadways exceed in width seventy percent (70%) of the entire street frontage.
   B.   No two (2) of said roadways shall be closer to each other than twelve feet (12'), and no roadway shall be closer to a side property line than one and one-half feet (11/2').
   C.   Each roadway shall not be more than thirty six feet (36') in width, measured at right angles to the center line of the driveway, except as increased by permissible curb return radii. The entire flare of any return radius shall fall within the right-of-way.
   D.   No roadway shall be closer than ten feet (10') to the point of intersection of two (2) property lines at any corner as measured along the property line, and no roadway shall extend across such extended property line.
   E.   In all cases where there is an existing curb and gutter or sidewalk on the street, the applicant for a permit shall provide a safety island along the entire frontage of the property, except for the permitted roadways. On the two (2) ends and street side of each such island shall be constructed a concrete curb, the height, location and structural specifications of which shall be approved by the City Engineer. Maximum and minimum curb return radii permitted and minimum roadway approach angles to the center line of the street are required as shown in the manual and made by this reference as much a part of this title as if fully described and detailed herein.
   F.   Where there is no existing curb and gutter or sidewalk, the applicant may at his option install such safety island and curb or, in place thereof, shall construct along the entire length of the property line, except in front of the permitted roadways, a curb, fence or pipe rail not exceeding two feet (2') or less than eight inches (8") in height. (Ord. 18-01, 1-16-2018)

Gasoline pumps shall be set back not less than eighteen feet (18') from any street line to which the pump island is vertical and twelve feet (12') from any street line to which the pump island is parallel, and not less than ten feet (10') from any residential or zone boundary line. If the pump island is set at an angle on the property, it shall be so located that automobiles stopped for service will not extend over the property line. (Ord. 18-01, 1-16-2018)
