Standards for commercial and business streets are as follows:

A. Function. To serve all uses established in a commercial or business district with a street of adequate width and load capabilities;

B. Right-of-Way. Sixty feet minimum, with 80 feet desirable;

C. Driving Lanes. Minimum pavement width for 60 feet of right-of-way to be 44 feet and for 80 feet of right-of-way the width is to be 54 feet minimum; parking to be permitted on both sides but possible restrictions may be enforced when necessary;

D. Design Standard. The surface and subsurface of the street shall be constructed to all-weather standards; concrete curbs and gutters and storm drainage to be provided. Curb cuts to vegetated LID facilities are permitted where feasible. “Feasible” means the design criteria, limitations, and infeasibility criteria for each LID BMP as described in the Ecology Manual;

E. Median. None required unless necessary to prevent midblock turns or to provide additional safety at intersection turning movement channels;

F. Sidewalks. Both sides with eight-foot minimum width on 60-foot right-of-way and 10 feet minimum on 80-foot right-of-way;

G. Access Conditions. Controlled access to be permitted to all parking areas and uses but care should be taken to prevent access to parking and loading spaces which require maneuvering on the street;

H. Traffic Features. Control devices where warranted; pedestrian crosswalks at grade; low speed limits;

I. Planning Features. All streets (not otherwise classified as arterials) within commercial and business zones are to be considered this classification; pedestrian traffic should be encouraged. [Ord. 2017-03-009 § 2; Code 1980 at § 11.44.010].
