Driveway Width Policy: District Policy 7208.4.3 states that commercial driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 40-feet. Driveway Paving Policy: District Policy 7207.4.3 states that graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway.
