City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 104

22 Form-Based Zone FB


Editors note: Ord 2021-16, adopted May 25, 2021, merged the MV-1, M-1, M-2, and M-3 zones into a single chapter, removing them from Chapter 22, 23, 24, and 25, and placing them into Chapter 21. Ord 2022-04, adopted January 18, 2022, created the "Form-Based Village Zone" and Ord 2022-20 renamed the zone to "Form-Based Zone," and refined the provides as set forth herein.

Sec 104-22-1 Purposes And Intent

The purpose and intent of the Form-Based Zone is to provide a form-based regulatory tool that focuses on the public street design and the buildings that frame the public street. This deemphasizes separation of land uses as is typically found elsewhere in this Land Use Code. Form-based regulations help enable a mixture of allowed uses, multimodal active transportation, and enhanced building design. Additionally:

  1. Implements the general plan. The Form-Based Zone regulations are intended to carry out the objectives of the 2016 Ogden Valley General Plan through the implementation of form-based small area zoning and transferable development rights.
  2. Creates street regulating plans. Each area affected by the Form-Based Zone shall be governed by a Street Regulating Plan. The purpose of the Street Regulating Plan is to address specific design and functionality of streets and building facades along these streets. The intent is to stimulate the creation of buildings and streets that frame the public rights-of-way with architectural and design elements that are unified under a common design theme whilst enabling unique building facades.

Editors note: Ord 2022-20 misnumbered the list in this section.

Sec 104-22-2 Applicability

  1. New development to comply. The principles, standards and guidelines of this chapter apply to proposals for new development, changes in land uses, and site improvements to existing buildings, Lots, or Parcels that are in the Form-Based Zone. Exterior modifications to existing development shall comply if the exterior modification exceeds either 25 percent of the street-facing facade of the building, or 25 percent of the lot's street frontage.
  2. Other regulations apply. In the Form-Based Zone, except when more specific regulations are provided in this chapter, the design review regulations and architectural, landscape, screening, and design standards of Title 108 Chapter 1 and Title 108 Chapter 2 apply to all Lots, except a Lot with only one single-family dwelling.
  3. Street regulating plan. The applicable regulations herein are specific to the street type, as designated by the applicable street regulating plan. New development within the Form-Based Zone shall comply with the applicable street regulating plan. Development of any property along a street or that gains primary access from that street shall comply with the street design requirements, as provided in Section 104-22-7, and the building design standards in Section 104-22-6, for the specific type of street. A list and explanation of each street type is provided in Subsection (e) of this section.
  4. Effect of street regulating plan and graphics. Details in a street regulating plan or any graphic in this chapter have no effect unless expressly provided by this chapter.
  5. Street type, description, and purpose.
    1. Government/institutional street.
       A Government and Institutional street or Alley has street-front buildings that are intended to provide the same as a Vehicle-Oriented Commercial Street, and provide preferential areas for the siting of government or public-service oriented buildings that front the street. Public-service oriented buildings may include any governmental, nonprofit, or for-profit school as long as the school provides the same K-12 educational courses required by the State of Utah, or a school that is an accredited institution of higher education. Hospitals or other medical services buildings, including medical, dental, or mental-health offices, laboratories, or similar public-health related offices, a public transportation facility or a multimodal transportation hub are also intended to be street-adjacent. Except for a public transportation facility, pickup and drop off areas shall be located to the rear of the building.
    2. Vehicle-oriented commercial street.
       A vehicle-oriented commercial street or Alley has street-front buildings that are intended to serve the traveling public, such as a large grocery store, drive-through or drive-up window service of varying kinds, and gas station. Street-front buildings that are not vehicle oriented are also allowed as described for a Mixed-Use Commercial Street. Multi-family residential uses are allowed only if located above first-floor street-level commercial space.
    3. Mixed-use commercial street.
       A mixed-use commercial street has street-front buildings that are oriented toward pedestrian traffic. At the street-level, these buildings shall be exclusively used or reserved for commercial operations. Commercial and Multi-family residential uses are allowed above or behind first-floor street-level commercial space.
    4. Multi-family residential street.
       A multi-family residential street has street-front buildings that are used for multi- family dwellings, and are set back from the street enough to provide a stoop or door yard between the facade and the street's sidewalk. Where possible, given terrain, first-floor building space intended for residential uses shall be offset by half a story from the plane of the street's sidewalk. First-floor street-level commercial area is permitted, but not required. Commercial uses are not permitted above the first-floor street-level unless the first-floor street level is also occupied by a commercial space.
    5. Small-lot residential street.
       A small-lot residential street has street-front buildings that may be set back more than multi-family residential street facades, but are less likely to have a noticeable front yard area.
    6. Medium-lot residential street.

      A medium-lot residential street has street-front single-family buildings that may be set back more than small-lot residential street facades to provide a small front yard area.
    7. Medium-large-lot residential street.

      A medium-large-lot residential street has street-front single-family buildings similar to medium-lot residential street facades, but on lots with greater area.
    8. Large-lot residential street.
       A large-lot residential street has street-front single-family buildings that may be set back enough to create a sizeable front yard on a lot that is large.
    9. Rural residential street.
       A rural residential street has street-front single-family buildings that may be set back enough to create a sizeable front yard on a lot that is at least an acre large.
    10. Estate lot residential street.
       An estate lot residential street has street-front single-family buildings that may be set back enough to create a sizeable front yard on a lot that contains multiple acres..
    11. General open space street.
       A general open space street has very limited buildings adjacent to the street, and only those that are incidental and accessory to the open space.

Sec 104-22-8 Street Regulating Plans

  1. The following maps depict the adopted Street Regulating Plans for their respective areas. The plans illustrate the intended street layout of the area and the designated street types. The plan is intended to be a guide for the placement of streets and mid-Block Alleys, and is not designed to survey-level accuracy. A street's placement shall be within 200 feet of the location depicted on these maps. A mid-Block Alley, denoted on the maps with thinner line types intersecting with Governmental and Institutional, Vehicle-Oriented Commercial, Mixed Use Commercial, and Multi-Family Residential streets, shall be provided as specified in Section 104-22-7.010. A land owner proposing development in an area that a street or Alley is planned shall be responsible for dedicating the land and constructing the street or Alley improvements.

Sec 104-22-9 Parking And Internal Block Access

  1. Parking required. Each application for development shall include a parking plan that demonstrates that sufficient parking will be provided by the on-street parking immediately fronting the lot or an off-street parking lot or garage within 1000 feet of the building. On-street parking not adjacent to the Lot's street-frontage shall not be counted.
    1. Internal Street-Block shared public parking. Each business or use that will have patrons, customers, clients, or similar, shall provide an off-street public parking lot or garage.
      1. Use of this parking lot or garage shall be shared by all landowners and business owners within the Street-Block. In extremely inequitable circumstances, the Land Use Authority may allow a land or business owner to specifically exclude parking for patrons, customers, clients, or similar of other land or business owners if those other land or business owners within the Street-Block have not provided their own proportionate contribution toward shared public parking within the Street-Block.
      2. Each public parking area located within the Street-Block shall be designed to extend to the parcel boundary and shall provide a cross access easement along all sides of the parking area abutting the adjoining Lot(s) or Parcel(s) in a manner that allows the adjoining Lot or Parcel owner to extend that public parking area seamlessly into their parcel. Cross access and cross access easements are required pursuant to Subsection (h) of this section.
    2. Alternative to shared internal Street-Block public parking. If multiple land or business owners within a Street-Block create an alternative shared public parking plan that provides for equal or better off-street public parking for the same Street-Block than otherwise required by Subsection (a)(1) of this section, then the provisions of Subsection (a)(1) that run contrary may be waived. However, in no case shall parts of Subsection (a)(1) be waived in a manner that prevents or restricts an existing or future land or business owner’s opportunity and obligation to contribute to and enjoy the benefits of the shared public parking within the Street-Block at full buildout.
    3. Internal Street-Block private parking. Nothing in this subsection (a) shall be construed to prohibit a landowner from creating a private parking lot or garage as long as the shared public parking requirements, obligations, and opportunities specified herein are satisfied.
  2. Employee and residential parking. On-street parking shall not be included toward minimum parking needed for employees or for any residential use. Employee parking and the minimum required residential parking shall be located off-street within the same Street-Block as the use.
  3. Parking lot surface. All parking lots shall be hard-surface asphalt or concrete, or other improved surface otherwise approved by the County Engineer and local fire authority.
  4. Parking flexibility. Except for residential uses, the Land Use Authority may reduce the minimum parking spaces required if sufficient evidence suggests that the required number of spaces is excessive for the building and proposed use or uses therein.
  5. Parking related to a change of use. If a change of use occurs, more parking may be required if the new use merits it, as determined by the Land Use Authority. The applicant proposing to change the use shall be required to provide the additional off-street parking within 1000 feet of the use.
  6. Parking lot trees. A surface parking lot shall have one tree for each four parking spaces, and a five-foot wide landscape planting area that runs the depth of the parking row shall be located at each end of a parking row.
  7. Parking structure design standards. When located adjacent to a vehicle-oriented commercial, mixed use commercial, or multi-family residential street, a parking structure shall have first-floor street-level commercial space along the street’s frontage. However, for a corner Lot, this requirement applies to the façade that is adjacent to the more prominent street, as determined by the land use authority; the other façade shall have the same for no less than fifty percent of that façade’s street frontage. The other fifty percent, and the area of the parking structure above the street level commercial space, shall have a street-facing facade that disguises the parking structure to generally look like other buildings in the area.
  8. Cross-access and cross-access easement. For all Lots or Parcels along a Governmental and Institutional street, Vehicle Oriented Commercial street, Mixed Use Commercial street, Multi-Family Residential street, , providing access to adjacent existing or future development without the need to access the public right-of-way is required. This access shall be provided by a mid-Block Alley , or other Alley or shared driveway as may be deemed necessary by the Land Use Authority. If not in conflict with mid-Block Alley requirements herein, when no new Alley access is deemed necessary because an Alley access or street access is already provided to the Lot or Parcel through another Lot or Parcel, then a cross-access easement shall be provided along adjoining lot lines, as follows:
    1. Inclusion of other landowners. A cross access easement shall provide an easement to all landowners in the Street-Block that develop along a Governmental and Institutional street, Vehicle Oriented Commercial street, Mixed Use Commercial street, Multi-Family Residential street that is framing the Street-Block. The easement shall allow ingress and egress to these other Lots or Parcels, including ingress and egress infrastructure.
    2. Multiple points of access. At a minimum, each developed Lot or Parcel shall have two points of ingress and egress, at least one of which shall be stubbed to adjacent property where practicable. Except that a private parking area is allowed to only provide a single access as long as it does not block the accessibility to other areas within the Street-Block that are or could be used for public parking.
    3. Coordination with adjoining landowners. When locating a cross-access easement or designing the cross-access infrastructure, good faith efforts shall be made to coordinate the location and design with the adjoining land owner.
    4. Location to optimize circulation. The Planning Director may require the cross-access to be located in a manner that optimizes traffic circulation within the Street-Block.
    5. Installation timing. Construction of the cross-access infrastructure shall be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any structure on the Lot or Parcel, or a completion bond may substitute for completion if allowed by the County Engineer.
    6. Reciprocal easement when others exist. When a Lot or Parcel is being developed that abuts an existing cross-access easement or existing cross-access infrastructure, a reciprocal cross-access easement shall be provided on the same lot line or parcel line in the same location and of equal width. The reciprocal cross-access infrastructure shall be constructed to the same standard as, or better than, the existing cross-access infrastructure on the adjacent parcel. A cross-access easement shall be recorded on the title of all affected properties, along with a perpetual operation and maintenance agreement between the property owners that specifies, at a minimum, that the infrastructure will be operated and maintained by the property owners in a manner that is safe and usable for two-way vehicle traffic.
    7. Operations and maintenance. If property owners fail to operate or maintain cross-access infrastructure that was required by the County under this section, the County may pursue enforcement measures as provided in this Land Use Code.

Sec 104-22-11 Form-Based Zone Transferable Development Rights

  1. Transferable development rights, generally. To increase or decrease Residential Development Rights on a Lot or Parcel in the FB Zone, the following apply:
    1. Transferred density.
      1. Rights to be transferred, location. Additional Residential Development Rights are permitted to be transferred to any Lot or Parcel in the Form-Based zone, also known as the receiving property, that has street frontage on, or gains primary access from, any street type in the street regulating plan except an Estate Lot Residential street, a General Open Space street, and, in the Western Weber Planning Area, a Rural Residential street. In addition, no additional Residential Development Rights shall be transferred to a Lot or Parcel designated as open space on the street regulating plan.
      2. No right exists until transfer is complete. No additional Residential Development Right exists on the a receiving property until after the landowner has successfully completed the transfer of an equal number of Residential Development Rights from another Lot or Parcel that has the available number of Residential Development Rights being pursued.
      3. Rights available for transfer. A Residential Development Right is deemed available for transfer from a sending Lot or Parcel if the sending Lot or Parcel's Base Density calculation, together with adjustments for any previous Residential Development Right reduction or addition, demonstrates that the Residential Development Right could be developed on the lot or parcel in a manner that complies with the provisions of this Land Use Code. A Residential Development Right reduction or addition is any of the following:
        1. Use of the Residential Development Right for construction of a residential unit onsite.
        2. Transfer of a Residential Development Right to another Lot or Parcel.
        3. Receipt of a Residential Development Right from another Lot or Parcel.
        4. Restriction of the construction, development, or subdivision of or on the Lot or Parcel for residential purposes as provided in County laws not otherwise in this Land Use Code; State or Federal laws, regulations, or restrictions; private contracts, covenants, or restrictions; conservation or preservation easements or agreements; or any other lawful development restriction or prohibition that clearly and specifically makes the Residential Development Right unbuildable on the Lot or Parcel. This shall include any lawful development restriction or prohibition applied to the property on or before January 1, 2022, regardless of whether that restriction exists at present.
      4. Completing a transfer. The reallocation shall be completed by recording a Notice of Transfer Document to each affected Lot or Parcel.
        1. Each Notice of Transfer Document shall run with the land.
        2. Each Notice of Transfer Document shall document the applicable Lot or Parcel's estimated initial density; the number of Dwelling Units already developed on the Lot or Parcel; the number of Residential Development Rights subtracted from, or added to, the initial density by any other means; and the number of Residential Development Rights remaining for the Lot or Parcel.
    2. County review of transfer. A landowner may submit a request for approval of a transfer of Residential Development Rights at any time. Planning Division Staff shall review each request for compliance with applicable regulations. If the transfer is merited by this ordinance, Planning Staff shall prepare a Notice of Transfer Document for each affect Lot or Parcel in a form as approved by the County Attorney’s Office.
      1. A transfer is not complete until a notice of transfer has been signed by each affected landowner of record for each affected Lot or Parcel, the reviewing staff, and the Planning Division Director, and then recorded to each affected Lot or Parcel in the Office of the County Recorder.
      2. Approval of a Subdivision’s preliminary plat or a Design Review that is based on the receipt of transferred Residential Development Rights is conditioned, by reference herein, on the applicable transfers being completed. Approval is void if the transfer is not completed.
      3. No final plat application shall be approved or recorded and no building permit shall be submitted or approved until after the transfer(s) are complete.
    3. Banking of Residential Development Rights. A Lot or Parcel within the Form-Based Zone may be used to bank Residential Development Rights. These rights may be held on the Lot or Parcel until they are either constructed on the Lot or Parcel, or transferred to another eligible Lot or Parcel within the Form-Based Zone. There is no limit to the number of Residential Development Rights that can be transferred to a Lot or Parcel in the Form-Based Zone. However, the number of Residential Development Rights actually constructed on the parcel shall be limited by what can actually be constructed in compliance with the requirements and standards of this chapter, as well as any other applicable provision of this Land Use Code.
  2. Ogden Valley Planning Area Form-Based Zone transfers.
    1. Initial density. A Lot or Parcel rezoned to the Form-Based Zone from a zone that allow(s)(ed) dwelling units shall have an initial density that is equal to the Lot or Parcel’s Base Density, as defined in Title 101, Chapter 2, that was allowed in the prior zone.
    2. Transfer allowances and limitations. Residential Development Rights may be transferred to a Lot or Parcel in a FB Zone from any Lot or Parcel in the following zones within the Ogden Valley Planning Area: RE-15, RE-20, AV-3, F-5, FV-3, S-1, FR-1, FR-3, RMH-1-6, CVR-1, and FB.
    3. Transfer ratio. The transfer ratio shall be one to one. This means for every one Residential Development Right transferred from a sending Lot or Parcel in the Ogden Valley Planning Area, one is allowed to be constructed on a receiving Lot or Parcel within the FB Zone in the Ogden Valley Planning Area.
  3. Western Weber Planning Area Form-Based Zone transfers.
    1. Initial density. A Lot or Parcel rezoned to the Form-Based Zone from a zone that allow(s)(ed) dwelling units shall have an initial density that is equal to the Lot or Parcel’s gross area divided by 15,000 square feet.
    2. Transfer allowances and limitations.

      1. The general location of mid-Block Alleys are shown on each street regulating plan as lines with a lighter line weight than the lines that represent streets.
      2. A mid-Block Alley shall provide both vehicle and pedestrian access to and through the inside of a Street-Block. Specifically, they shall provide access to shared public parking lots, public or private parking garages, and other uses or buildings that are located in the middle of the Street-Block.
      3. When a mid-Block Alley connects through a Street-Block in which the Alley transitions to a residential street, the applicable design and construction standards shall also transition to a typical residential street standard.
      4. The Alley shall be dedicated for public use, but the operations and maintenance of it shall be the collective and equitable responsibility of all landowners whose parcels and/or parking areas gain access from it. An association of owners may be created to specify the details of the management thereof.
      5. Snow storage areas abutting an Alley shall be provided in the middle of each Street-Block of sufficient size and configuration to easily accommodate the Alley's snow storage needs, as determined by the County Engineer.
      6. Regardless of an Alley's configuration displayed on the street regulating plan map, a mid-Block Alley shall be located at a distance that is no greater than 330 feet and no less than 200 feet from a street intersection or other mid-Block Alley intersection.
      7. The mid-Block Alley's access to the street shall align with an existing or planned mid-Block Alley on the opposite side of the street. If there is no existing or planned mid-Block Alley on the opposite side of the street, then the subject mid-Block Alley's access to the street shall be located in a manner that provides reasonable opportunity for the creation of a future mid-Block Alley on the opposite side of the street.
      8. The width of the mid-Block Alley shall, at a minimum, be designed as follows:
    3. Residential street design. The design for all non-multi-family residential streets is as provided in Section 106-4-5.

Sec 104-22-7.020 Specific Street Design Standards

For all Government and Institutional, Vehicle-Oriented Commercial, Mixed-Use Commercial, or Multi-Family Residential street types, the following provisions shall apply. The following standards do not apply to non-multi-family residential streets unless explicitly stated herein. Otherwise, non-multi-family residential streets shall follow adopted residential street design standards.

  1. Pedestrian priority design. The street shall be designed to prioritize pedestrian use. At primary points of conflict between pedestrian uses and vehicle uses, the street facility shall be designed and constructed to promote pedestrian safety, comfort, and efficiency.
    1. Raised crosswalks. Where a pedestrian-way intersects with a vehicle-way, the pedestrian-way shall be raised at least six inches above the grade of the vehicle-way, or to the level of the adjoining pedestrian-ways, whichever is higher. This shall include but is not limited to the installation of crosswalks and intersections that are raised to the same plane as the sidewalk or adjoining pathways. An example of a raised crosswalk is illustrated as follows:
    2. Curb extension bulb-outs. In order to provide traffic calming and pedestrian safety, street improvements at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and mid-Block Alleys, if different, shall be constructed with curb extensions that bulb-out directly adjacent to the lane of travel. Bike lane widths shall not be obstructed or made narrower at any point along a curb extension bulb-out. Bulb-outs shall be designed to the specifications of this ordinance and the County Engineer, or as otherwise adopted. Where a bulb-out provides access to a raised pedestrian crosswalk, bollards or other permanent features shall be installed along the curve of the bulb-out to keep vehicles from entering the pedestrian-way. Examples of bulb-outs are depicted in the images above.
    3. Crosswalk contrast. For enhanced noticeability, in addition to white retroreflective striping, crosswalks shall be constructed of stamped and colored concrete to provide clear contrast between the street and crosswalk.
    4. Mid-Block crosswalk. A Street-Block that has a length that is greater than 330 feet, as measured from the center of each bounding intersection, shall be provided with a mid-Block crosswalk. User-activated rapid flashing beacons that are solar powered or connected to jurisdictionally controlled power, if available, shall be installed on mid-Block crosswalk signage.
  2. Sidewalk required. As part of the required street improvements within the FB zone, a sidewalk shall be installed in the designated sidewalk area, as depicted in Section 104-22-7.010 and as illustrated as follows, on the side of the street of the development and for the entire length of the development Lot's street frontage or width.
    1. Paved pathway alternative. A 10-foot wide paved pathway may be installed in lieu of the required sidewalk along any street that is very unlikely to have an adjacent building with first-floor street-level commercial space. The pathway shall be designed as provided in Section 104-22-7.030.
    2. Covered boardwalk alternative. The County Commission may, but is not obligated to, approve the encroachment of a covered boardwalk, or similar, by legislative approval of an encroachment and maintenance contract. The adjoining landowners shall bear full responsibility for the operations and maintenance of the boardwalk. The covered boardwalk shall comply with the overhead projections standards of this chapter.
  3. Street trees required. As part of the required street improvements within this zone, street trees shall be installed in the designated tree lane, as depicted in Section 104-22-7.1, on the same side of the street as the development and for the entire length of the development lot's street frontage. Tree species shall be approved by the Planning Director and County Engineer as part of the review of the development. A street tree plan shall be submitted as part of a development application and shall be accompanied by a letter from a certified arborist or landscape architect, certifying that the proposed tree type is suitable considering site conditions and local climate. The plan shall include planting methods that are specific to the site conditions. Planting methods shall provide means of protecting the longevity of the tree and the street infrastructure. Street trees shall be provided with a permanent watering method with irrigation infrastructure installed underground.
    1. Tree planting. No street tree shall be planted within the clear view triangle as provided in Section 108-7-7, Section 106-4-5, or the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards. To provide continuous shade of the pedestrian areas, spacing between tree trunks shall equal the average diameter of the specific tree species' canopy at maturity. However, in the Nordic Valley Area, each street bounding a Street-Block shall have the same number of trees that is equal to one tree per every 50 linear feet of street on both sides of the street, and the trees may be grouped in clusters of no greater than ten trees, rather than equally spaced along the right of way.
    2. Tree maintenance. Unless an association, district, or other collective funding and maintenance entity is approved by the County to provide tree maintenance, a street tree shall be maintained by the owner or proprietor of the property that is immediately adjacent to the street right-of-way where the tree is located. A tree maintenance plan shall be submitted as part of the development review for new development. Trees shall be pruned in a manner that gives at least a seven foot clearance above the sidewalk and a 12 foot clearance above a bike lane or parking area, as depicted by the following graphic:
  4. Bike facilities required.
    1. Separated bike lane. Unless provided otherwise herein, a concrete bike lane that is five feet in width shall be installed as part of the required street improvements. The bike lane shall be on the same plane as the sidewalk, and shall be separated from the pedestrian walkway by the tree lane.
    2. Bike lane alternative. When topography results in the inability to safely create sufficient street right-of-way width, the County Engineer has discretion to allow a bike lane to occupy the street's vehicle travel lane. In these cases, a five-foot wide retroreflective green bike lane shall be applied to the center of the lane, and marked with retroreflective sharrows as depicted by the following graphic:
  5. Street parking required.
      1. 45-degree angle parking. Each street shall be designed and constructed to provide 45-degree angled parking.
      2. Street parking alternative. When topography results in the inability to safely create sufficient street width, the County Engineer has discretion to allow a parallel street-parking design instead.
      3. Parking bumper buffer. A three-foot parking buffer shall be provided between the bike lane and the curb for vehicle bumper overhang. Vegetation may be in this buffer.

  6. Curb, gutter, and drainage facilities.
      Curb, gutter, and drainage facilities shall be installed along each street and internal Alley in accordance with the County's standard curb and gutter cross sections and in a manner that accommodates the street designs herein.
  7. Items in public right-of-way.
    1. Overhead projections. Overhead building projections such as but not limited to awnings, canopies, balconies, and cantilevers, are permitted within the public right-of-way, provided that they leave a vertical clearance over the sidewalk or walkway of no less than nine feet, and shall not project more than eight feet into the public right-of-way. Any support post beneath the building projection shall be no greater than seven feet from the building façade, be designed to offer minimal disruption to sidewalk traffic, and meet all ADA clearance requirements.
    2. Amenities and furniture. Non-permanent street amenities such as street furniture for outside dining, benches, bike racks, planters, and street sales and displays are permitted between street trees and along sidewalks as long as they do not cause any hazard to the use of the bike lane; and they are located in a manner that leaves a continuous seven-foot wide pedestrian walkway.
    3. Street Lighting. Street lighting shall be installed as part of the required street improvements within this zone. Street lighting shall complement the architectural design theme of the area.
    4. Overhead utilities. All new development shall move all existing overhead utilities underground, and install all new utilities underground as well.
  8. Round-a-bout. A round circle along any street intersection on the street regulation plan indicates a planned round-a-bout. As development occurs, street right-of-way shall be dedicated to the County to accommodate at least a 110-foot diameter round-a-bout. Round-a-bout improvements shall be installed when required by the County Engineer. Otherwise, all improvements installed shall be installed in a manner that does not create an undue burden on the construction of a future round-a-bout.

Sec 104-22-7.030 Pathway Location And Design Standards

  1. Pathways and sidewalks, generally.
    1. Pathway and sidewalk layout shall be designed in a manner that prioritizes efficiency of non-motorized modes of transportation.
    2. Pathways shall connect using the shortest distance reasonably possible.
    3. Pathway and sidewalk layout shall provide for the continuation of existing pathways or sidewalks in the general area, and for future planned pathways, as shown on an adopted pathway plan, general plan, master trails plan, or other applicable adopted planning document.
    4. Except for development along a Rural Residential or Estate Lot Residential street, each development shall be configured so that the maximum pathway or sidewalk walking-distance between a pathway or sidewalk intersection is 400 feet.
      1. This distance may be increased for a segment of a pathway that travels through a permanently preserved open space area or an area very unlikely to ever develop.
      2. A pathway or sidewalk intersection is where a pathway or sidewalk intersects with another pathway, sidewalk, or street that has pedestrian facilities.
    5. A pathway or sidewalk stubbed from an adjacent property shall be connected to a pathway or sidewalk within the subdivision.
    6. Continuation of a pathway or sidewalk to adjacent undeveloped property shall be provided with a stub to the subdivision boundary.
    7. Pathway and sidewalk arrangement shall not cause any unnecessary hardship for creating convenient and efficient access to nearby parcels that are likely to eventually be developed.
  2. Street-adjacent pathway. Along each arterial, collector, and major neighborhood street, as provided in an adopted general plan, master streets plan, or similar adopted document, a 10-foot wide hard-surfaced pathway shall be installed.
    1. When determining which side of the street the pathway is required, preference shall be given to the side of the street that has optimal sun exposure during winter months.
    2. The Planning Director may require a pathway be located on the other side of the street to support pathway connectivity based on other factors such as existing or planned future pathways in the vicinity and potential pedestrian conflicts.
    3. The pathway shall be located within the street right-of-way unless expressly authorized otherwise by the County Engineer. If not located within the street right-of-way, a pathway easement is required.
    4. Unless required otherwise by the County Engineer, the pathway shall have an asphalt width of at least nine feet and be bounded on both sides by a six-inch concrete ribbon that is flush with the top of asphalt travel surface. The pathway shall be constructed of three inches of asphalt on eight inches of base-course. Greater thickness may be required where it intersects a vehicle-way.
    5. Example: Street-Adjacent Pathway
  3. Non-street-adjacent pathway. Where generally depicted on a map or in the text of an applicable street regulating plan, general plan, master streets plan, or when otherwise required herein or in a development agreement, a 10-foot wide hard-surfaced pathway shall be installed through the development.
    1. Where a pathway runs between buildings or fenced Lots, a minimum 30-foot pathway public right-of-way is required. The pathway shall run down the center of the 30-foot right-of-way.
    2. The pathway right-of-way may be reduced to 15 feet if both of the adjoining Lots or parcels are or will be single-family residential, and are deed-restricted to:
      1. Only allow a solid fence that is no greater than four-feet; or
      2. Only allow a fence that is 30 percent open with the openings evenly distributed.
    3. The adjoining land owners are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of vegetation and waste on the half of the pathway right-of-way that is adjacent to their Lot or Parcel.
    4. Example: Non-Street-Adjacent Pathway
