• • <br />N. Where anon-residential driveway, alley, or any roadway that is controlled by a stop sign intersects <br />with an uncontrolled thoroughfare, the corner clip design criteria as defined and outlined in <br />Chapter 6, Article 6.03, Section D, Clause 2 shall be adhered to. <br />O. Every building constructed and located more than 150 feet from a publicly maintained street shall <br />be accessible by way of access roadway or driveway with an all-weather surfaces of not less than <br />25 feet of unobstructed width of which the first 400 squaze feet adjacent to the publicly maintained <br />street shall be a dust free surface, shall have adequate turning radii capable of supporting the <br />imposed loads of fire department apparatus and have a minimum vertical cleazance of 14 feet. <br />P. Private driveways, alleys, and parking lots within shopping centers, commercial areas, or <br />industrial developments shall not be considered streets. <br />7.09 COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DRIVEWAYS ALONG MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND <br />COLLECTORS <br />A. The requirements of Article 7.08, Section A shall apply with respect to driveway approach spacing <br />and location along major thoroughfazes and collector streets. Spacing between non-residential <br />driveways should be measured along the property line from the end of the curb return of one <br />driveway to the end of the curb return of the next driveway and not from centerline to centerline. <br />1. Driveway approaches accessing major thoroughfares and collectors shall be aligned with <br />opposing driveway approaches, if any. Such proposed driveways and their turning <br />movements shall not interfere with left turn lane storage capacity and shall not overlap a <br />left turn lane. This shall apply in all situations whether or not a left turn lane exists at the <br />location of the proposed driveway or not. <br />2. The spacing and location regulations of driveways shall be applied to proposed <br />driveways, including those shown on approved site plans and plats, in relation to any <br />existing driveways. <br />3. Driveways shall be spaced at distances sufficient to ensure that turning movements from <br />adjacent driveways do not conflict or overlap. <br />B. Entrances to non-residential driveway approaches shall be designed so as to provide adequate <br />sight distance required for safe travel and shall never be below the minimum set forth in Chapter <br />6, Article 6.03, Section E, Clause 2. Except where a TIA states that a larger sight triangle is <br />needed, the following table shall be considered the minimum sight triangle distances for the <br />corresponding posted speed limit: <br />Posted S eed Limit (m h Minimum Si t Trian le Distance (ft) <br />25 24 <br />30 54 <br />35 104 <br />40 154 <br />45 ~ 204 <br />50 254 <br />C. Turning lanes shall meet the minimum requirements of the American Association of State <br />Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways <br />and Streets" <br />D. Notwithstanding any other requirements set forth herein, stop sign controlled driveway exits shall <br />be required of driveway approaches that generate 1,000 vehicles per day or more in traffic. Such <br />sign installations shall conform to TMUTCD guidelines. The stop sign shall be located at the <br />right-of--way line. <br />Driveway Requirements Page 6 of 10 <br />
