(a) Streets which are a continuation of streets shall be so aligned as
to assure that their centerlines shall coincide. In cases where straight
continuations are not physically possible, such centerlines shall
be continued by curves. Where this is physically impossible, and where
right angle offsets are required for development such streets shall
have a minimum of 160 feet between centerlines of such offset streets.
This distance may be increased or decreased by the city engineer in
order to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of citizens.
(b) Street stubs may be required to serve adjacent unsubdivided property
where, in the opinion of the city council they are necessary to adequate
future access. The construction of such shall be to the satisfaction
of the city engineer.
(c) Streets shall intersect at as near right angles as is practicable.
(d) Street corners shall have a curb radius of not less than 25 feet
except that on arterial highways a 35 foot radius shall be required.
All property lines shall be designed so as not to reduce parkway widths.
(e) Reserve strips, where required to control access over certain lot
lines or over the ends of street stubs, shall be dedicated to the
city.
(f) Names for proposed new streets shall be as established by the city
street naming committee.
(g) Streets, alleys and easements in any standard subdivision or parcel
map shall be offered for dedication. The city, at its option, may
accept or reject any such offer.
(h) Streets shall conform as to general alignment and width to the adopted
circulations element and/or any adopted precise plans.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)
Street design shall conform to the city's engineering standards and to the requirements set forth in Sections
