building, or a building addition containing more than 2,500 square feet of
gross floor area, or a new or expanded parking lot containing more than 10
• parking spaces on property located on an arterial or collector street and
zoned for commercial, office or multi-family use unless a sidewalk exists
adjacent to the property along the arterial or collector street or unless the
plans for the building or parking lot provide for the construction of such a

construction of the sidewalk within six (6) months of issuance of the
certificate of occupancy.
(c) Upon application of the property owner, the city council sw may waive the
requirement of this section to provide plans for and construct a sidewalk If
the council determines that the sidewalk is not needed or that the Impact of

STAFF REPORT
MITidRSON CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 9, 2006
•
CASs NOs. 1106005 and P06006
Proposed antendments to the City Code regarding consuuclion ofsidewalks.
Rackerorund
The Subdivision Code requires sidewalks to be constructed in new subdivisions on both sides of arterial and
collector streets and on at least one side of local streets in new subdivisions located within one mile of an
elementary or secondary school orproperiyowned ormaintained bythe Parks and Recreation Commission.ror
practical purposes,this covers virtuallyall lad within the city.'lhe one exception is for cul-de-sacs less than
400 feel in length.
The Code includes two provisions for approval of a variance to the construction of standard sidewalks:
• When it is deicnuined by engineering studies that it is not practical to construct a sidewalk due to the
presence of unusual conditions,such as topography,and wovercome theseconditions would present a
serious obstacle to the reasonable subdivision and development of the land; and
• When an alternate pedestrian tray plan has been submitted by the developer which provides it
continuous paved walkway system throughout the subdivision on dedicated pedestrian casements.
Because a variance is strictly limited to the above two purposes, concern is often expressed about the
requirement to build sidewalks when load is being subdivided or a lot is being repiatted along existing streets
which are not being constructed or reconstructed as part of the subdivision. In addition, there may be little
pedestrian traffic generated by the proposed development, no existing sidewalks along adjacent streets in the
area,and no nearby pedestrian generators such as schools or parks. The current code makes no provision for
consideration on, varfance based on these or other relevant factors.
Another concern often expressed is the lack ofa requirement to construct sidewalks along existing streets when
a substantial residential or commercial development occurs because the land is not being subdivided into lots
and no new streets are being created. Such developments generate pedestrian traffic and thus need sidewalks
far public convenience and traffic safety purposes but are currently not required to be installed as a part of the
ordinary site improvements such as driveways, paved parking lots, on-site walkways and landscaping.
In order to address these concerns, Ilse City Code could be amended by recognizing thal there are occasions
when sidewalks may not be appropriate, Relevant factors could be established to guide decisions out requests
for variances. In addition, the City Code could be amended to require Ilia[ sidewalks be constructed when
larger developments are completed on major streets regardless of whether the Inmd is being subdivided. This
would enhance efforts towards creating a more safe and effective pedestrian system throughout the City.
Previous Discussion
On November 10,2005, the above information wits presented to the Pluming and Zoning Commission.
Following discussion,the Commission authorized staff io prepare appropriate amendments to the City
Code addressing this situation and advertise the amendments for a public hearing.

Jefferson City Planning&Zoning Commission Page 2
Staff Report: Sidewalks Along City Streets 2/9/06
Proposed Amendments
• Firs[, Sec. 33-9 of Ilse Subdivision Code is proposed to be auncuded as follows:
• Provide that n varimtce may be approved for sidewalks in 111111131'subdivisions (not more than 5 lots
and no new street) based on it consideration of certain factors.
• Provide[lint sidewalks shall be constructed along one side of local streets in all new subdivisions and
not only in now subdivisions located within one mile ofa school or park.
• Provide Ihu the length ofa cul-de-sac will he measured from the center of Ilia bulb.
• Provide that ilia City Council shall be the entity wilit the aulhorily to approve variances, impose
penalties and authorize special tax bills.
Second, Sec. 32-103 is proposed to be added to ilia Street and Sidewalk chapter of ilia City Code. This
new section would require construction ofa sidewalk when a new building or major building addition is
constructed or a new or expanded parking lot containing more than 10 parking spaces is constructed on
properly located on an arterial or collector street and zoned fm•commercial,office or mulli-family use. This
requirement would not apply to the reconstruction of existing buildings or parking lots or the construction
of accessory buildings, A property owner may request a variance to the requirement to construct the
sidewalk and Ilia Council may approve the variance after considering relevant factors outlined in the
amendment.
Third, Sec. 35-56 is proposed to be added to the Zoning Code.This new section would reference the
requirement for new developments to construct sidewalks, unless a variance is approved by the Council.
Please see the atmchnnents for the full text of the proposed amendments.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of ilia proposed amendments. The recommendation of the Commission and any
public comments will be forwarded to the City Council for their final determination.
