Sec. 106-394. Special regulations and procedures. (a) Refer to articles IV, V, VI and VII of this chapter, and refer to section 106-5334(i). (b) All multifamily developments with residential units more than 200 feet from a public street must meet the following private street design criteria: (1) Purpose. The purpose for the regulation of private streets and the standards established in this section are: a. To provide adequate vehicular access to all buildings and facilities by city police, fire, and solid waste department vehicles; and b. To provide for the safe movement of all vehicles from a private street to the public street system of the city. (2) Location. All portions of residential buildings must be within a 300 -foot length, measured horizontally as a fire hose would lay, from a public or private street. (3) Width. The width of a private street shall be measured from edge to edge across the surface of the pavement. The right-of-way width and the pavement width of a private street are considered coterminous and the terms are used interchangeably. The minimum acceptable unobstructed width of any private street is 28 feet. If parallel parking is proposed along the private street, additional width may be required to accommodate such parking. (4) Dead ends, cull -de -sac, and T or L -type turnarounds. Dead end private streets must be terminated by a circular cul-de-sac having a paving radius of not less than 40 feet or a T or L - type turnaround designed in conformance with the standards approved by the director. (5) Length of cull -de -sac or dead end private streets. Dead end private streets must not extend further than 300 feet from the nearest right-of-way line of the intersecting public or private street measured along the centerline of said private street to the center of the cul-de-sac or the outer limit of the paving in the T or L -type configuration. (6) Construction. All private streets shall be constructed in conformance with the public improvements criteria manual. (c) Points of entry/exit: All multi -family developments shall contain a minimum of two points of entry for ingress and egress of vehicle traffic from adjacent public rights-of-way and thoroughfares. (a) The MH manufactured housing district is intended to provide for manufactured housing communities, (parks, subdivisions, or condominiums). Within such developments, manufactured housing communities (with such additional uses and occupancies as are permitted herein) may be established subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in these and other regulations. Other residential and supporting uses may also be permitted in such districts. (b) It is intended that such manufactured housing communities shall be so located, designed, and improved as to provide a desirable residential environment, protection from potentially adverse neighboring influences, protection for adjacent residential properties, access for vehicular traffic without traversing minor streets in adjoining residential neighborhoods, and accessibility equivalent to that for other forms of permitted residential development to public facilities, places of employment, and facilities for meeting commercial and service needs not met within the manufactured housing community.
