Any person who constructs or causes to be constructed any building or dwelling in the City shall construct curbs, gutters, sidewalks and streets in accordance with the city specifications along all street frontages adjoining the property upon which such building or dwelling is constructed, unless adequate curbs, gutters, sidewalks or streets already exist; provided, however, that in areas not subdivided or parceled into lots of one-half acre or less, such curbs, gutters, sidewalks and streets need not extend a greater distance than the side yards or the side and rear yards in the case of corner lots. Whether or not adequate curbs, gutters, sidewalks and streets already exist shall be determined in each instance by the city engineer, and an endorsement to that effect shall be made upon each building permit at the time it is issued.

In order to meet the intent of the South Livermore Valley Plan and at the same time maintain the rural character of the South Livermore Valley, Chapter 12.04 LMC relating to curbs, gutters, and sidewalks shall not apply to lots zoned residential which are over 10 acres in size.
