in effectSec. 54-310. - Driveway spacing and design for business, office and industrial lots.
The maximum width of driveways, and the minimum curb radius shall be based upon the speed limit of the street to which the driveway is to be connected, and shall be as shown on Table 3.2. Driveways shall be a minimum distance of 50 feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines to the edge of driveways. The distance between the proposed driveway and an existing adjacent driveway shall be the greatest distance feasible. For parcels with a right-of-way frontage equal to or less than 130-feet in length the development is limited to one driveway and for parcels with a frontage greater than130-feet in length the development may have multiple driveways, but no more than three driveways. For parcels with a right-of-way frontage equal to less than 130-feet in length, two single lane driveways may be allowed if the inbound drive is upstream from the outbound drive. In cases of new development and/or redevelopment, the driveways shall be located in a manner where they can be shared between parcels, if feasible. See Figures 3.1 and 3.2 for an illustration of how to measure these dimensions.
