All ingress and egress driveways onto a City street shall be located to allow the greatest degree of safety to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic on a City street. All proposed development must meet these standards for vehicular access and circulation: 1.

Access design shall ensure that a right -turning exit vehicle shall be able to see only the first through traffic lane available without encroaching into the adjacent through lane. 3. There shall be sufficient onsite storage to accommodate queued vehicles waiting to park or exit without using any portion of the street right-of-way or in any other way interfering with street traffic. 4. Number, location, and separation requirements for driveways. Driveways shall be designed to adequately accommodate the volume and normal character of vehicles anticipated to be attracted to the development. a. The number of driveways shall be determined by existing site conditions and ensuring safe and efficient access and use for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic on a City Street. b. The edge of a driveway for a single-family residential dwelling shall be located a minimum of twenty- five (25) feet from the right-of-way line of a street intersection. 5.
