Chapter 9-608 — Roadways

This Chapter specifies regulations and standards for roadway improvements for all development, including projects where no discretionary permits are required.

(a)

Design and Dedication. All roads shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the County's Improvement Standards and shall be offered for dedication as public roads unless the Director of Public

Works approves or conditionally approves private roads serving or contained within the project. Private roads shall be designed and constructed to the County's Improvement Standards or the County's Fire Road Standards and the standards of this Chapter.

(b)

Access Required. All projects involving new non-agricultural structures or the expansion of existing nonagricultural structures by 25 percent or more shall have, at a minimum, legal access to a publiclymaintained road, by one of the following methods:

(1)

Direct frontage on a County, City, or State maintained road.

(2)

Access to a County, City, or State maintained road by way of a private right-of-way;

(3)

Access to a County, City, or State maintained road by means of a private right-of-way or easement approved as part of a major or minor subdivision and improved to the specifications of Sections 9-608.140 and 9-608.150; or

(4)

Frontage on a public or private road in an antiquated subdivision improved to the standards of Section 9- 608.160.

(c)

Improvements Required. The project frontage shall meet the following requirements:

(1)

Frontage. The developer shall improve all existing and proposed roads that are a part of the development project or are required to serve the development project in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter. Projects estimated to generate 50 or more vehicles per day will be required to improve the frontage.

(2)

Extension of Frontage Improvements. Projects shall be required to extend frontage improvements on the project side of the County-maintained road that provides primary access to the site in accordance with the criteria of the Department of Public Works for such improvements.

(3)

Antiquated Subdivisions. For new, non-agricultural structures or projects that increase the floor area of existing non-agricultural structures by 25 percent or more all roads shall be improved as specified in

Section 9-608.140.

(4)

Other Projects. Where the land to be subdivided is in an area designated in the General Plan as an urban or rural community or designated for commercial, industrial, or residential development by the General Plan, or is zoned AL-5, frontage improvements shall be required as specified in this Chapter or as recommended in a County-approved traffic analysis.

(5)

Payment Instead of Improvements. If any improvement to be performed is located on a portion of highway of which the County is planning to improve, the Director of Public Works may elect to improve the portion thereof otherwise required to be improved by the subdivider. In such event, the subdivider shall pay to the County, in full discharge of the subdivider's obligations for these improvements, a sum equal to the estimated cost to the County of undertaking and completing the improvement required. These improvements shall be done at the time the County improves the highway.

(d)

Alternative Design and Improvement Standards.

(1)

To enable subdivision designs that attempt to reduce the reliance of the residents on automobiles for daily errands and commuting and, as a result, have a beneficial effect on air quality and energy consumption and the overall quality of life of the residents in a particular development, the County may approve Tentative Maps that have a land use plan that facilitates non-vehicular trips and are planned for residents to use transit or other alternate modes to locations outside of the subdivision:

(A)

In order to reduce the speed of automobile traffic, streets widths may be narrowed, and centerline radii and curb radii at intersections may be reduced, when compared to the County's Improvement Standards and other provisions of this Title if traffic studies confirm to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works that safety will not be compromised;

(B)

Trees shall be planted in such a manner as to buffer the pedestrians from the automobile traffic and to provide a "tree canopy" that will shade the pedestrians from the County's extreme summer climate;

(C)

The subdivision may incorporate privately-owned alleys in certain locations and locate garages behind houses where appropriate to improve the streetscape aesthetics, reduce vehicle speeds and traffic, and maximize the front yard areas;

(D)

Parks shall be located throughout the subdivision and shall be interconnected by a system of tree lined streets and bike and pedestrian paths;

(E)

The street system shall incorporate bike/pedestrian routes and paths; and

(F)

The street grid shall be designed in a manner that will provide pedestrians with quick, easy, and pleasant access to adjacent commercial land uses, parks, public transportation, day care centers, an elementary school, and public buildings.

(2)

If the Director of Public Works finds that a Tentative Map complies with paragraph (a) above and that maintenance of the proposed facilities can be ensured, then the Director may recommend that that the Planning Commission approve the Tentative Map, and any Final Map than shall be approved as being consistent with it.

(3)

Any request to deviate from the improvement standards in this Chapter or the County's Improvement Standards shall be processed as a waiver under Chapter 9-806. No waiver shall be required if the Director of Public Works determines that a particular street or landscaping design or improvement feature proposed on a Tentative Map or Final Map is in substantial compliance with the County's Improvement Standards and this Section.

(e)

Improvements that May be Waived or Deferred. The required improvements may be waived or deferred by the Director of Public Works where it is determined, based upon the General Plan land use designations, existing land uses in the vicinity, existing and projected needs for drainage and traffic control, or existing physical limitations, that such improvements are not necessary or may be deferred. When the Director of Public Works determines that the improvements may be deferred, the developer must execute a secured or non-secured Deferred Frontage and Roadway Improvement Agreement acceptable to the County. The option to require a secured agreement shall be at the sole discretion of the Director of Public Works.

The following roadway functional classifications and characteristics are to be used in conjunction with the Circulation Element of the General Plan and the County's Improvement Standards.

25 percent or more that generates an additional 20 or more vehicles per day; or

(B)

500 square feet or more.

(2)

Subdivisions. Where any subdivision creates a lot or parcel of land.

(3)

New Rights-of-Way. Developers shall dedicate rights-of-way for new public roads within a development project.

(4)

Off-site Rights-of-Way. Developers shall obtain off-site rights-of-way where required for the project and then dedicate these to the County.

(b)

Dedication Width. Right-of-way widths shall be dedicated as follows:

(1)

In conformity with the General Plan, a Master Plan, a Specific Plan, a Special Purpose Plan, or a Master Plan, the width shall be as specified in this Chapter and the County's Improvement Standards for a roadway of that functional classification.

(2)

For roads not indicated in the General Plan, Specific Plan, a Special Purpose Plan, or a Master Plan, widths shall conform to the requirements of Section 9-608.020, with the functional classification determined by the Director of Public Works.

(3)

If the existing right-of-way is equally divided by the original property line or section line, then the required dedication shall be no more than one-half of the amount needed to achieve the total required road width.

(4)

Applicant shall dedicate, or offer for dedication, expanded intersection rights-of-way in accordance with the County's Improvement Standards or otherwise specified in a Traffic Analysis, Technical Memorandum, or Operational Analysis.

(5)

Where topography or existing improvements, such as a railroad right-of-way, make it impractical to comply with the above sections, the Director of Public Works shall establish criteria for right-of-way dedication and roadway widening.

(c)

Access Rights. When any development project or improvement plan abuts an arterial or expressway, access shall be restricted to the roadway, except where access is delineated on a Specific Plan, Special Purpose Plan, or Master Plan. Where new parcels are created abutting two public roads, access shall be restricted along the non-primary parcel frontage. The developer shall dedicate to the County access rights in restricted access. When access to a roadway is restricted, vehicular access to the property must be provided by another public roadway.

New roads within development projects shall be dedicated and improved to their full width except as follows:

(a)

Expressways, Principal Arterials, and Minor Arterials. The Director of Public Works may allow less than full width improvement on expressways and major and minor arterials within or fronting development projects when improvements to the expressways and arterials are not required to meet existing and projected traffic demands, except that the roads shall be improved to a minimum of one-half street on the project side including one half median, plus one 12-foot-wide lane and shoulder on the opposite side.

(b)

Local and Collector Roads. The Director of Public Works may allow less than full width improvements on local and collector roads along the boundary of a development project except that the roads shall be improved to a minimum of one-half street on the project side, plus one 12-foot-wide lane and shoulder on the opposite side.

Public alleys are prohibited in new development projects. For development projects along existing alleys, improvements to the alleys may be required at the discretion of the Director of Public Works.

Where a development project adjoins a planned Class I bikeway, also known as a Bike Path, as shown on the General Plan, Special Purpose Plan, Specific Plan, Master Plan, or the County's Bicycle Master Plan, that will serve the residents of the subdivision, the developer shall dedicate and improve the Bike Path to

the standards set forth in the California Highway Design Manual, Chapter 1000: Bike Transportation Design and Topic 1002: Bike Facilities[2 ] and the County's Improvement Standards. The overall width of the bike path shall be determined by the Director of Public Works but shall be no less than 8 feet for the paved path itself with additional land as needed for required shoulders, signage, and landscaping. In some areas, road widening for on-street Class II bikeways, also known as Bike Lanes, or Class III bikeways, also known as Bike Routes, may be required in lieu of separated Bike Paths. Right-of-way widths as shown in this Chapter shall be adjusted to accommodate bikeways when required, consistent with the County's Bicycle Master Plan. The developer may be required to dedicate additional land for bikeways for the use and safety of the residents of a subdivision in accordance with Section 66475.1 of the Subdivision Map Act.

Footnotes:

--- ( 1 ) ---

Note— This is a specific requirement of the County's Bicycle Master Plan. The standards in the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design Guide also are recommended in the Bicycle Master Plan, but these are not proposed to be codified. They will be used as a reference by the Director when setting right-of-way and striping standards. Impact fees may be needed to ensure that the costs of bikeways serving county residents are fairly apportioned among users.

When required by the Director of Public Works, pedestrian ways for access to schools, recreation areas, or other public areas shall be improved with sidewalk, landscaping, and fencing. They shall have a minimum hard surface, as approved by the Director of Public Works with a minimum width of five feet and a minimum right-of-way width of 10 feet. Sidewalks in the public right-of-way may be eliminated if other pedestrian ways are approved by the Director to provide access to each parcel. The design shall be determined at time of approval of a development project and, if applicable, must meet the standards for access for disabled persons required by the California Building Code, as adopted by the County, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In all residential zones, the developer shall provide a fence, wall, or landscaped buffer outside of the rightof-way along any public roadway to which access is restricted and ensure a means of ongoing maintenance and repair, which may be the responsibility of the adjacent homeowner or of a homeowners' association. In all zones but the Rural Residential Zone, the wall shall be a minimum of six feet high, of uniform design and constructed of masonry. For infill or small-scale projects, these requirements may be waived by the Zoning Administrator.
