Ordinance update

Last updated: March 23, 2010

On March 22, 2009, Council approved an Ordinance Updating Various Standards Pertaining to Driveway Approaches, Thereby Amending Chapters 15, 17, 19 and 21 of the City Code. The City Code was changed from requiring a 3-foot concrete apron and an encroachment agreement for driveway approach materials other than standard Portland Cement Concrete or Mixed Bituminous to allowing any driveway approach material approved by the City Engineer. Decorative materials are allowed to the edge of pavement or the curb and an encroachment agreement is no longer required. When a City project requires removal of a decorative driveway, the property owner will be given the option to either have the City replace the entire disturbed area with concrete or for the property owner to replace the disturbed area with a decorative material and be reimbursed for the project bid price of replacing the area with concrete.

In addition, staff updated several other miscellaneous issues pertaining to driveway approaches in City Code Chapters 15, 17, 19 and 21.
