The width of a driveway approach apron shall conform to the following dimensions:

A. For residential driveways, the maximum width shall not exceed more than thirty feet or fifty percent of the lot frontage width, whichever is less. However, where a driveway is permitted, a minimum driveway width of ten feet will be allowed;

B. For commercial driveways, when one or more driveway approaches serve a given property frontage, no single apron shall exceed thirty feet in width, if the property abuts a street where the posted speed limit is twenty-five miles or less per hour, or thirty-five feet where the posted speed limit is above twenty-five but under forty-five miles per hour, or forty feet where the posted speed limit is forty-five or more miles per hour, but any width in excess of thirty feet is subject to the approval of the city engineer. A safety island of not less than six feet of full-height curb shall in all cases be provided between driveway approaches and a safety island of not less than twenty feet of full-height curb shall in all cases be provided between driveway approaches serving any one property frontage;

C. Property frontage referred to herein includes approach areas directly in front of property owned or under the control of the applicant and such area as may be opposite adjoining property which is used for approach purposes by right of easement or agreement with the adjoining property owner;

D. No driveway approach shall project beyond the extension of the side property line to the curb, unless the owner of the adjacent property is a cosigner of the application. (Ord. 3672-19 § 1, 2019; prior code § 13.36.060.)
