Last month the City Council approved new standards for residential driveways. Here's What you need to know:
📌 Permits Needed: You must apply for and be issued a building permit before any new construction or expansion of a driveway begins.
📌 A plot plan must be submitted and approved to show the location, width, and length of the driveway.
📌 Driveways must be paved with concrete, asphalt, or brick pavers.
📌 Driveways shall not exceed 50% coverage within the front yard of or the street-facing side yard in which the driveway is located. Driveways shall not exceed a width of 35’ within the right-of-way and 50% coverage, whichever is less. All widths refer to the total of driveways on the lot, not each individual driveway. Corner lots are allowed up to a maximum of 45’ of driveway width within the right-of-way provided all other requirements are met.
