Reference: § 320-214B(2)(c); § 320-508B(2)(k); Diagram 320-214-1. (Editor's Note: Diagram 320-214-1 is included immediately following § 320-214F.)
A.
Except as provided below, every building housing a principal use
or special exception hereafter erected or moved shall be on a lot
which fronts or abuts a public street and has direct vehicular access
to that public street and be so located as to provide safe and convenient
access for servicing and off-street parking; see Table 320-505-1 for
minimum lot frontage width.[1] Direct access does not include the use of easements. Fee
simple title to the access to a public roadway must be the same as
the building title.

No. 3-22]
(1)
Combined/shared access for agricultural and single-family and two-family residential zoning districts. Where a lot abuts a state or county road that has access restrictions, combined/shared access may be granted as a special exception in compliance with the requirements for granting special exceptions in § 320-205 in addition to the following requirements and conditions:
(a)
An access easement and maintenance agreement shall be required.
(b)
Standards for access drives and driveways may be imposed as a condition
of approval (i.e., length, width, design of driveways for fire-safety
purposes).
(c)
Conditions for access, use and improvements of adjacent parcels may
be imposed.
(2)
Combined/shared
access for attached single-family and multifamily zoning districts.
Where a lot abuts an arterial or collector road, provision for combined
access with adjacent parcels by easement or dedicated frontage road
is permitted and may be required for new development; if infill development
is proposed, all efforts shall be made to obtain adequate access.
(3)
Combined/shared
access for nonresidential zoning districts. Where a lot abuts an arterial
or collector road, provision for combined access with adjacent parcels
by easement or dedicated frontage road shall be required for new development;
if infill development is proposed, all efforts shall be made to obtain
adequate access.
B.
Multiple frontages. Where a residential parcel abuts two streets, access shall be limited to the street with the lowest functional classification; if both streets are considered collectors or arterials, only one street shall be granted access as approved by the Greenville Engineer. Where a nonresidential parcel abuts two streets, access may be limited to the street with the lowest functional classification. Reference Chapter 204, Article II.[2]
[Amended 4-26-2021 by Ord. No. 01-21; 4-26-2021 by Ord. No. 05-21]
C.
Number of accesses and locations. No parcel abutting a public street
for less than 100 feet shall have more than one driveway access to
that street. No parcel abutting on a public street for over 100 feet
shall have more than two driveway accesses to that street.
D.
Location to intersections. No driveway access shall be located with
its closest edge closer than 50 feet to a local street intersection
or closer than 100 feet to a collector or arterial street intersection;
this shall be measured at the property corner of such lots along the
right-of-way lines. To the extent practical, driveways shall be located
to maximize distances to an intersection.
E.
Access design standards. Access shall comply with the Greenville
Standard Specifications and Details. (Contact Engineer for details.)
F.
Coordination of access. Driveway access shall be located to minimize
potential interference and conflicts with the use of buildings and
driveways on the opposite side of the street and should align with
driveways on the opposite side of the street as much as possible.
G.
Configuration. Driveway access shall intersect with public streets
as nearly as possible at right angles; provided, however, for high-intensity
uses (average daily traffic of 500 or more vehicles per day), or for
parcels with access to streets with posted speeds of 45 miles per
hour or greater, a channelized T-intersection may be required and
acceleration and deceleration lanes may be required.
H.
Bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities
shall be provided on-site and shall connect to existing bicycle and
pedestrian facilities within the public right-of-way and adjacent
sites for both transportation and recreational purposes. Facilities
shall be provided in and around parking lots, entrances to buildings,
stormwater features, landscape features, and other site amenities
where appropriate. If pedestrian and bicycle facilities are not available
within the public right-of-way, they shall be provided within the
right-of-way and be consistent with the Greenville Bicycle and Pedestrian
Plan unless there is justification from the Village Engineer determining
bicycle and pedestrian facilities are not feasible based on physical
or environmental circumstances.
I.
Traffic impact analysis. Depending on the volume and type of traffic,
a traffic impact analysis shall be submitted to determine if the requests
are warranted and shall be approved by the Public Works Director and
Greenville Engineer.
J.
Access shall also be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and 2020
Sub Area Plan.
[Amended 4-26-2021 by Ord. No. 01-21; 4-26-2021 by Ord. No. 05-21]
A.
On any
corner lot in all zoning districts, no fence, wall, hedge, planting,
object, building or structure shall be erected, placed, planted or
allowed to grow in such a manner as to obstruct vision from the ground
up to the sky in the area bounded by the right-of-way lines of such
corner lots and a line joining the point along said right-of-way line
from the point of intersection for a distance based on Table 320-602-1.
Reference Diagram 320-602-1.
B.
If lot
lines do not connect to form a traditional corner lot but rather create
an additional lot line in place of a corner, the vision corner shall
be measured from the point of intersection of the extension of imaginary
lot lines that would have traditionally created the intersecting corner.
