§ 1400-530. DESIGN ADJACENT TO ARTERIALS  


Latest version.
  • Subdivision design adjacent to major streets or highways shall be as determined by the Planning Commission.

    (a)

    Street design shall have the purpose of making adjacent lots, if for residential use, desirable for such use by cushioning the impact of heavy traffic and of minimizing the interference with traffic on such arterials.

    (b)

    The number of intersection streets along arterials shall be held to a minimum.

    (c)

    When the rear or side lines of any lots border a State highway or major street, the subdivider may be required to execute and deliver to the County an instrument prohibiting the right of ingress and egress to such lots across the side lines of such highways.

    (d)

    Service Roads: Off-Street Parking. When lots proposed for commercial or industrial uses front on any major or secondary street or highway, the subdivider may be required to dedicate and improve a parallel service road to provide ingress and egress to and from such lots. When any lots proposed for residential use front on a State highway or major street, the subdivider may be required to dedicate and improve a service road at the front of such lots or to back lots to the highway or major streets.

    (e)

    In addition to the requirements for a service road, the Planning Commission may require adequate off-street parking areas for all lots proposed for commercial, multiple family or industrial use.
