The public right-of-way is a unique public resource held in trust for the benefit of the public. This physically limited resource requires proper management to maximize its efficiency and minimize the costs to taxpayers, to protect against foreclosure of future economic expansion because of premature exhaustion of the public right-of-way, and to minimize the inconvenience to and negative effects on the public from use of the public right-of-way by contractors and utility companies.
To achieve the purpose of this chapter, the City of Norco shall endeavor to coordinate its capital improvement programs with those of utility companies and franchisees with facilities in, on, under or above the public right-of-way. Information about any planned work in the right-of-way shall be shared at the earliest possible time. Utility owners and franchisees are encouraged to coordinate their street excavations so that all work is done simultaneously and the street is not excavated more than once within a 12-month period.

A. 
Newly constructed or resurfaced streets shall be termed "prohibition streets" within this section. Permission to excavate in prohibition streets will not be granted for five years after the completion of street overlays. An overlay consists of at least a one-half inch thick layer of asphalt. For those streets with chip seal, slurry seal coating, or micro paving with less than one-half inch of new pavement, the prohibition period shall be for a period of three years. Utilities shall plan well enough in advance to determine alternate methods of making necessary repairs to avoid excavating in newly resurfaced streets. Exceptions to the above policy are as follows:
1. 
Emergencies that endanger life or property.
2. 
Interruption of essential utility service.
3. 
Work that is mandated by City, State, or Federal law.

Slurry Sealed, Chip-Sealed, or Micro-surfaced Streets. All lanes that are affected shall be resurfaced per Section 12.05.070, Paving.
c. 
A minimum of one foot on either side of the trench shall be resurfaced if the excavation is a lateral cut. For longitudinal trenches the entire length plus one foot on either end shall be resurfaced.
d. 
Exception. Full lane width restoration shall not be required if either of the following conditions apply:
i. 
The work is not considered an excavation as defined in Section 12.05.020.

The purpose of this exception is to prevent hardship to property owners of limited means and it shall be interpreted and applied solely to achieve that purpose.
iii. 
Before issuing a permit for work in a prohibition street, the Director of Public Works or City Engineer will verify that the applicant has analyzed all feasible alternatives to make the necessary repairs using a trenchless method in prohibition streets to avoid excavating a newly resurfaced street whenever possible.

D. 
If there is a trench-related failure after the City of Norco reconstructs, repaves, or resurfaces the street, the owner of the facility/utility company is responsible for its repair if the failure occurs within one year of a trench repair.
E. 
When the City of Norco determines that an excavation or a defect is hazardous or constitutes a public nuisance or other imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare, the Department of Public Works may order the responsible party to remedy the condition immediately. If the responsible party refuses or fails to make the needed repairs immediately, the City of Norco will make the repairs and:
1. 
The responsible party will be charged all the actual costs including administration, construction, consultant fees, equipment, inspection, notification, and remediation made necessary by the action or inaction of the permittee.
