Resolution No. 82-88 EXHIBIT "A"
PROPOSED CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO POLICY ON PRIVATE ROADWAYS
IN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
This proposed policy shall apply to all future residential
developments in the City of South San Francisco which contain
five (5] or more detached or semi-detached single-family,
dwellings in planned unit developments constructed with common
driveways or private streets.
Private roadways shall only be permitted in single-family planned
unit developments having the following characteristics:
The topography is too steep, the shape of the lot too
irregular or other physical constraints are present so
that public streets will not reasonably fit on the site
without requiring variances from the public street
standards of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The roadways will improve access and public safety by
eliminating direct vehicular backout onto public
arterials.
The roadways are not being proposed solely to increase
density.
e
Sufficient budgeting is provided to fully maintain the
driveways over the long term life of the project.
In addition to the required covered resident parking
and driveway aprons long enough to accommodate the
normal passenger vehicle for each unit, guest parking
is provided in common areas in proximity to each unit
to offset the loss of parallel parking normally
provided on public streets. If the topography limits
the developer's ability to provide adequate apron
spaces for each unit, these lost apron spaces shall be
provided in common areas in proximity to each unit.
A security gate, information sign and/or decorative
pavement treatment indicating the private nature of the
private roadway has been provided.
