§ 2. Street access.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Except as herein provided, no building shall hereafter be erected, constructed, moved or relocated on a lot not located on a publicly dedicated, accepted and maintained street with a right-of-way of less than 30 feet and frontage of not less than 40 feet.

    (b)

    Certain roads are classified as restricted access thoroughfares as identified on the official city zoning map. The thoroughfares are as follows: North and South Fifth Street, North and South Fourth Street, East Carolina Avenue and West Carolina Avenue from Fifth Street to Erwin Road. Other thoroughfares may be identified when developable property becomes available or is annexed into the city. Access to such streets shall be subject to the following restrictions:

    (1)

    Corner lots which abut two or more streets, one of which is a restricted access thoroughfare, shall not have access to the restricted access thoroughfare unless such access is through a parallel collector road.

    (2)

    No street or driveway shall enter a restricted access thoroughfare at a point nearer than 500 feet from an existing street or driveway. When a proposed development abuts upon or contains an existing or proposed restricted access thoroughfare, the development site plan shall provide vehicular access to such street by use of a parallel collector road. All abutting lots shall be separated from said restricted access thoroughfare by a nonaccess easement at least one foot in depth.
