§ 17.28.050. Routes of access.  


Latest version.
  • Each local street providing access to lots within a subdivision shall connect directly or through one or more local streets to a collector street or major street. Each route of access to collector streets or major streets and its point of connection therewith shall be adequate to safely accommodate the composition and volume of vehicular traffic generated by the land uses it serves. In determining the adequacy of a route of access, the deployment of fire equipment or other emergency services shall be considered by the commission and the council. A tentative map which makes use of local streets which pass through a predominantly residential neighborhood as a route of access to industrial, commercial or other subdivisions, generating traffic which would conflict with a residential character of the neighborhood, may be denied.
