Staff receives many calls regarding whether or not two <br /> driveways are allowed. Staff currently requests that the Streets Department look at each <br /> request, case by case,to make a judgment on whether or not to allow a second driveway. <br /> The added language will allow two driveways on lots 1-acre or larger in the A-1 and R-la <br /> districts only and on any corner lot in any district. It will also allow for a looped driveway, <br /> only if the distance between each leg is 25-feet or less. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the attached <br /> language pertaining to driveways. <br /> • <br />
