In any case in which a developer installs or causes the installation of water, sewer, electrical, power, telephone, or cable television facilities and intends that such facilities shall be owned, operated, or maintained by a public utility or any entity other than the developer, the developer shall transfer to such utility or entity the necessary ownership or easement rights to enable the utility or entity to operate and maintain such facilities.

(a)

Subject to Subsection (b), all public streets, sidewalks, and other common areas or facilities in subdivisions created after the effective date of this ordinance shall be sufficiently illuminated to ensure the security of property and the safety of persons using such streets, sidewalks, and other common areas or facilities.

(b)

To the extent that fulfillment of the requirement established in Subsection (a) would normally require street lights installed along public streets, this requirement shall be applicable only to subdivisions located within the corporate limits of the city.

(c)

All roads, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and other common areas and facilities in undivided developments shall be sufficiently illuminated to ensure the security of property and the safety of persons using such roads, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and other common areas and facilities.

(d)

All entrances and exits in substantial buildings used for nonresidential purposes and in two-family or multi-family residential developments containing more than four dwelling units shall be adequately lighted to ensure the safety of persons and the security of the buildings.

(e)

Street lights along public streets which are to be dedicated to the City under this ordinance shall be installed by [the] developer, and maintained and operated at [the] Developer's sole expense during the entire one-year warranty period (or longer, if the warranty period is extended for any reason such as failure to complete improvements under a Completion Bond). At the end of the warranty period, [the] Developer is responsible to transfer the electric account to the City of Long Beach. Failure to have account transferred will not obligate City to pay for electric charges incurred prior to the date of transfer. City will not accept streetlights unless they are installed within dedicated street rights-of-way or utility easements.

Lighting within any lot that unnecessarily illuminates any other lot and substantially interferes with the use or enjoyment of such other lot is prohibited.

(a)

Every principle use and every lot within a subdivision shall have available to it a source of electric power adequate to accommodate the reasonable needs of such use and every lot within such subdivision. Compliance with this requirement shall be determined as follows:

(1)

If the use is not a subdivision and is located on a lot that is served by an existing power line and the use can be served by a simple connection to such power line (as opposed to a more complex distribution system, such as would be required in an apartment complex or shopping center), then no further certification is needed.

(2)

If the use is a subdivision or is not located on a lot served by an existing power line or a substantial internal distribution system will be necessary, then the electric utility service provider must review the proposed plans and certify to the city that it can provide service that is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use and every lot within the proposed subdivision.

Every lot within a subdivision must have available to it a telephone service cable adequate to accommodate the reasonable needs of such lot. Compliance with this requirement shall be determined as follows:

(a)

If the use is a subdivision or is not located on a lot served by an existing telephone line or a substantial internal distribution system will be necessary, then the telephone utility company must review the proposed plans and certify to the city that it can provide service that is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use and every lot within the proposed subdivision.

(a)

All electric power lines (not to include transformers or enclosures containing electrical equipment, including, but not limited to, switches, meters, or capacitors which may be pad mounted), telephone, gas distribution, and cable television lines in subdivisions constructed after the effective date of this ordinance shall be placed underground in accordance with the specifications and policies of the respective utility service providers.

(b)

Whenever an un-subdivided development is hereafter constructed on a lot that is undeveloped on the effective date of this ordinance, then all electric power, telephone, gas distribution, and cable television lines installed to serve the development that are located on the development site outside of a previously existing public right-of-way shall be placed underground in accordance with the specifications and policies of the respective utility companies.

(a)

Whenever it can reasonably be anticipated that utility facilities constructed in one development will be extended to serve other adjacent or nearby developments, such utility facilities (e.g., water or sewer lines) shall be located and constructed so that extensions can be made conveniently and without undue burden or expense or unnecessary duplication of service.

(b)

All utility facilities shall be constructed in such a manner as to minimize interference with pedestrian or vehicular traffic and to facilitate maintenance without undue damage to improvements or facilities located within the development.

Whenever a developer installs or causes to be installed any utility line in any public right-of-way, the developer shall, as soon as practicable after installation is complete, and before acceptance of any water or sewer line, furnish the city with a copy of a drawing that shows the exact location of such utility lines. The utility service provider must verify said drawings as accurate. Compliance with this requirement shall be a condition of the continued validity of the permit authorizing such development.

(a)

Every development (subdivided or un-subdivided) that is served by a public water system shall include a system of fire hydrants sufficient to provide adequate fire protection for the buildings located or intended to be located within such development.

(b)

The presumption established by this ordinance is that to satisfy the standard set forth in Subsection (a), fire hydrants must be located so that all parts of every building within the development may be served by a hydrant by laying not more than 500 feet of hose connected to such hydrant. However, the fire chief may authorize or require a deviation from this standard if in his professional opinion another arrangement more satisfactorily complies with the standard set forth in Subsection (a).

(c)

The fire chief shall determine the precise location of all fire hydrants, subject to the other provisions of this section. In general, fire hydrants shall be placed six feet behind the curbline of publicly dedicated streets that have curb and gutter.

(d)

The fire chief shall determine the design standards of all hydrants based on fire flow needs. Unless otherwise specified by the fire chief, all hydrants shall have two 2½-inch hose connections and one 4½-inch hose connection. The 2½-inch hose connections shall be located at least 21½ inches from the ground level. All hydrant threads shall be national standard threads.

(e)

Water lines that serve hydrants shall be at least six-inch lines when looped to provide two-way flow to the hydrant lead or at least 8-inch when the hydrant is on a dead-end water main.

(a)

Every development that, under the city's solid waste collection policies, is or will be required to provide one or more dumpsters for solid waste collection shall provide sites for such dumpsters that are:

(1)

Located so as to facilitate collection and minimize any negative impact on persons occupying the development site, neighboring properties, or public rights-of-way; and

(2)

Constructed according to specifications established by the public works director to allow for collection without damage to development site or the collection vehicle.

(b)

All such dumpsters shall be screened if and to the extent that, in the absence of screening, they would be clearly visible to:

(1)

Persons located within any dwelling unit on residential property other than that where the dumpster is located.

(2)

Occupants, customers, or other invitees located within any building on nonresidential property other than that where the dumpster is located, unless such other property is used primarily for purposes permitted exclusively in an industrially zoned district.

(3)

Persons traveling on any public street, sidewalk or other public way.

(c)

When dumpster screening is required under this section, such screening shall be constructed, installed and located to prevent or remedy the conditions requiring screening.
