In the improvement of streets, the location of curbs and their
distance from the centerline of the street shall be as follows:
A.
In
all streets that are designated as major and secondary highways, the
location of curbs from the centerline of the street shall conform
to the requirements as set forth in the master plan for streets and
highways.
B.
In
all other streets, including collector, residential and existing streets
not conforming to the required curb to centerline distance as shown
on the master plan of streets and highways, the distance from the
centerline to the curb shall be subject to the requirement of the
city council taking into consideration the recommendations of the
city engineer.
(Prior code § 7220.0)
The existence of dirt sidewalks, dirt curbs or gutters and dirt
pavement adjoining dwellings, buildings and streets within the city,
or conversely, the lack of adequate curbs, sidewalks and pavement,
is found and declared to be dangerous to the public health and safety
of the inhabitants of said city.
(7220.1)
A.
Any
owner, lessee or agent constructing or arranging for the construction
of, or moving in of, a building or dwelling on a site shall also provide
for the construction of standard required street improvements as defined
in the Upland Municipal Code, Title 17. The required pavement shall
be one-half of the required total future roadway. The construction
of such improvements shall be done in accordance with city specifications,
unless adequate curbs, sidewalks, pavement, etc., already exist along
all street frontage adjoining the lot or lots on which the building
or dwelling is to be constructed.
B.
Provided,
however, that in areas located in other than agricultural or residential
zones, standard required street improvements shall be installed as
required by the administrative committee as set forth in the Upland
Municipal Code, Title 17, as a condition of their approval of a proposed
site plan whose boundary lines bear a properly designed and reasonable
relationship between the required street right-of-way improvements
and the proposed building construction.
C.
Provided,
further, however, that in areas not subdivided or parceled into one-half
acre or smaller lots which are located in agricultural or residential
zones, standard required street improvements need not be installed
for a greater distance than the minimum lot width required by the
Upland Municipal Code for the zone in which the area is located, but
not more than required in the R-1-A zone. For corner parcels in such
unsubdivided areas, the side frontage shall be determined by the minimum
area requirements.
(Prior code § 7220.2)
The chief building official shall deny:
A.
A certificate
of occupancy, as defined in Section 306 of the Uniform Building Code,
1958 Edition, Volume 1;
B.
A final
approval and acceptance; or
C.
Final
public utility connections to any building or dwelling unit until
the curbs, sidewalks and pavement exist or are constructed, or their
construction is guaranteed by a cash deposit in an amount determined
by the city engineer.
Unit costs for the curb, sidewalk and pavement installations
shall be set by resolution of the city council from time to time,
such amounts to be based upon the current prevailing rates for construction
of cement curbs, cement sidewalks and pavement.
(Prior code § 7220.3)
It is recognized that situations may arise wherein it may prove
to be impractical or impossible or unfair or oppressive to the owner
to require literal compliance with all of the requirements of this
part for the installation of curbs, sidewalks and pavement and that
a certain flexibility is necessary. It is accordingly specifically
provided that if the city council determines that any of the provisions
of this chapter should be waived or omitted, thereupon the city council
is authorized and empowered to deviate from the full requirements
for curbs, sidewalks and pavement as herein required, and may authorize
other modifications as the conditions may warrant.
(Prior code § 7220.4)
