Adequate ingress and egress to and from all uses of land shall be provided as follows herein. (Ord. 97-06 § 8-1)

   A.   No residential lot shall have more than two (2) driveways unless approved by the planning commission.

   B.   No driveway, or driveways, except for cul-de-sac lots, shall exceed fifty percent (50%) of the lot frontage.

   C.   In no event shall a driveway on a major or collector street be placed on any corner lot within a distance of fifty feet (50') from the point of intersection of the property lines nearest the intersection.

      1.   On local streets, the distance may be reduced to forty feet (40') or twenty five feet (25') from the point of curvature of the radius, whichever is greater, with planning commission approval, after receiving a recommendation from staff that:

         a.   The length of the local street is of such length that most local traffic is diverted onto other local or collector streets and is not a collector street by way of use, or

         b.   The lot is adjacent to a collector or major street which restricts lot access, and is therefore feasible to enter only from the local street, or

         c.   The size or shape of the lot is such that it justifies a reduction as opposed to other lots in the area.

         d.   Other findings of the staff that may be peculiar to the specific lot, and which may not be applicable to other lots in the area.

      2.   The reduction of the setback distance may not be to simply accommodate the desire of the property owner without cause, as identified above.

      3.   The approval of a reduced setback serves to modify the city construction standards relative to the setback from the corner for any lot so approved.

   D.   Any unused curb cuts for driveways shall be replaced with standard curb, gutter, and sidewalk, unless otherwise approved by the city.

   E.   No single-family residential lot shall have an individual access on a public street designated as a major street as shown on the general plan map of streets. (Ord. 2007-04: Ord. 2004-26 § 1: Ord. 97-06 § 8-2)

   A.   On dead end private streets serving flag lots, a turnaround shall be required.

   B.   On dead end private streets in residential planned developments, a cul-de-sac may be required.

   C.   The maximum length of any dead end private street shall be six hundred feet (600') unless otherwise approved by the planning commission.

   D.   All turnarounds that are not a regular cul-de-sac shall be used solely as a turnaround, and not as a joint use for such things as parking, garbage collection, or otherwise.

   E.   Flag lots approved by the planning commission and city council shall be designed to meet all applicable requirements of section 17.20.220 of this title dealing with flag lots. (Ord. 2004-26 § 1: Ord. 97-06 § 8-3)

   A.   Not more than two (2) driveways shall be used for each one hundred feet (100'), or fraction thereof, of street frontage on any street. Greater spacing may be required by the city on streets designated as major streets on the city general plan of streets.

   B.   No two (2) driveways shall be closer together than twelve feet (12'). A single drive may serve businesses on both sides of a common property line.

   C.   Each driveway shall be not more than fifty feet (50') in width, unless otherwise approved by the planning commission, except as increased by permissible curb return radius. In no case shall driveways exceed fifty percent (50%) of the street frontage.

   D.   In cases where there is an existing curb and gutter, or sidewalk on the street, the property owner shall provide a safety island along the entire frontage of the property, except for the permitted driveways.

   E.   No driveway shall be located closer to a public street intersection than fifty feet (50') from the point of intersection of the property lines nearest the intersection. (Ord. 2004-26 § 1: Ord. 97-06 § 8-4)

The sides and rear of any parking lot which faces or adjoins a residential district shall be screened from such district by a masonry wall, solid visual barrier fence, or earth berm of a height six feet (6'), or as may be required by chapter 17.28 of this title, or by the planning commission. (Ord. 2004-26 § 1: Ord. 97-06 § 8-5)

Each parking lot shall be permanently paved and maintained. (Ord. 97-06 § 8-6)

In nonresidential parking lots identified in section 17.36.040 of this chapter, lighting shall be used to illuminate the parking lot during evening business hours.

If the pump island is set at an angle on the property, it shall be so located that automobiles stopped for service shall not extend over the property line. (Ord. 97-06 § 8-9)

On the same premises with every building, structure, or part thereof, occupied for manufacturing, storage, warehouse, goods display, department store, grocery store, hotel, hospital, or similar use involving the receipt, or distribution by vehicle of materials or merchandise, there shall be provided and maintained on the lot, adequate space for standing, loading, and unloading services, in order to avoid undue interference with public use of streets.
