Findinl!:s for Consideration
1. Right-of-Way
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-FIA requires 54-feet of right-of-way on local

Modification of Policy for dedication of additional right-of-way: 2 12 Street is a
local/local commercial roadway. The remainder of the 212 Street is residential in nature.
There are no development applications pending or any rezone applications for the
remainder of 2 y, Street; therefore staff is recommending a modification of policy for the
additional right-of-way dedication. The site is located approximately mid block. Staff
does not foresee development patterns for 2 12 Street becoming predominately
commercial in the near future.

Findings for Consideration
I. Right-of-Way
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-FIA requires 54-feet ofright-of"way on local
commercial streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway
with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk.
Modification of Policy for dedication of additional right-of-way: 2 y, Street is a
local/local commercial roadway. The remainder ofthe 2 12 Street is residential in nature.
There are no development applications pending or any rezone applications for the
remainder of 2 12 Street; therefore staff is recommending a modification of policy for the
additional right-of-way dedication. The site is located approximately mid block. Staff
does not foresee development patterns for 2 y, Street becoming predominately commercial
in the near future.
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-FIA requires 50-feet of right-of-way on local
streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter
and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all local streets,
except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per acre or less

driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and
arterial roadways.
The site plan indicated utilizing the existing driveway (25-feet in width) located
approximately 5-feet south of the northern property boundary line. The applicant is
proposing an additional driveway (l6-feet in width) located approximately 5-feet north of
the southern property boundary line.
The applicant should be required to utilize the existing curb cut driveway and constmct
the additional driveway as a curb cut also. The applicant should be required to pave both

Adopt the Recommendations and the Findings of Consideration of the ACHD as follows:
Findinl!:s for Consideration
I. Right-of-Way
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-FIA requires 54-feet ofright-of-way on local
commercial streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction ofa 2-lane roadway
with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk.
Modification of Policy for dedication of additional right-of-way: 2 12 Street is a
local/local commercial roadway. The remainder of the 2 y, Street is residential in nature.
There are no development applications pending or any rezone applications for the
remainder of 2 y, Street; therefore staff is recommending a modification of policy for the
additional right-of-way dedication. The site is located approximately mid block. Staff
does not foresee development patterns for 2 y, Street becoming predominately
commercial in the near future.
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F lA requires 50-feet of right-of-way on local
streets. This right-of-way allows for the constmction of a 2-lane roadway with curb,
gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all local streets,
except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per acre or less
(7204.4. 7).
The site plan submitted with the application is not to scale and does not indicate curb,
gutter or sidewalk. District policy requires the applicant to construct curb, gutter and
sidewalk. Improvements shall be constructed to one-half of a 36-foot street section
abutting the site.
ORDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
(CUP-02-020)

driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and
arterial roadways.
The site plan indicated utilizing the existing driveway (25-feet in width) located
approximately 5-feet south of the northern property boundary line. The applicant is
proposing an additional driveway (16-feet in width) located approximately 5-feet north of
the southern property boundary line.

the additional driveway as a curb cut also. The applicant should be required to pave both
driveways to their full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of
pavement of 2 y, Street. Both driveways should not be more then 35-feet in width.
Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel
being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the
applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into
the site beyond the edge of pavement of 2 12 Street. and install pavement tapers with 15-
foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
