Adequate ingress and egress to and from all residential, industrial, and commercial uses shall be provided for in the following manner:

1. All new subdivision construction of one lot or more shall have curb, gutter and sidewalk installed throughout the entire project as required by City Ordinance. Driveway accesses across curb, gutter, and sidewalk shall not be constructed or installed until such time as a building permit is issued for a specific structure on a specified lot within the subdivision, unless the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that driveway locations can be reliably established prior to the issuance of building permits.

2. The Lindon City Planning Director shall approve all driveway accesses which cross a public right-of-way in residential zones. The City Engineer shall approve all driveway accesses in non-residential zones. Multiple accesses to the same property in any zone may be considered, but the City may limit the number of access with regard to how the driveway cuts impact pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

3. All driveway accesses installed in violation of this provision shall be removed before the final certificate of occupancy is issued for any residential, industrial, or commercial project.

4. Driveway accesses in residential zones shall typically not exceed 24' in width unless otherwise approved by the Planning Director, but in no case shall the driveway width exceed 40'. Driveway accesses in non-residential zones shall not exceed 40' in width unless approved by the City Engineer for unusual circumstances related to lot configuration, existing building placement, common use of large vehicle traffic, or other unique circumstances not commonly found on other lots within the vicinity.

5. Unless otherwise permitted by the City Engineer, driveway slopes for residential uses shall not exceed 16% and driveway slopes for non-residential uses shall not exceed 12%.

6. Driveways and accesses for all uses shall not be permitted within 40' of an intersection of a public street. (Ord. 99-8, adopted, 2000)
