10.429 Lower-Order Commercial/Industrial Street Classification System.
(1) Industrial Street Description. The industrial street classification is used for local streets within or abutting industrially zoned lands. Industrial streets provide frontage and direct access to industrial uses and link them to collectors and arterials to facilitate mobility for vehicles and goods. This designation provides wider travel lanes and a center turn lane/median to accommodate heavy trucks. Industrial streets also provide on-street parking, sidewalk, and planter strips on both sides of the street. This cross section is an option for industrially zoned lands when the commercial street standard is not adequate for the expected volume of truck traffic. The width of the planter strip is measured from the face of curb to the front edge of the sidewalk, and shall be planted with trees identified on the City-approved street tree list.
Special Note:
(i) The left-turn lane may be omitted at the developer’s request with approval from the City Engineer.
Industrial Street Cross-Section. The following is the industrial street cross-section:
(a) Industrial Street with 8-foot Parking Lane. For use along industrial streets serving primarily industrial land uses, and secondarily serving commercial land uses.
(2) Commercial Street Description. The commercial street classification is a local street that is intended to provide frontage and direct access to land uses within a commercially zoned district. Commercial streets link downtown and commercial centers with other parts of the City and provide vehicular and pedestrian mobility and access by providing one travel lane and on-street parking in each direction with a sidewalk and planter strip on both sides of the street. This code allows for adjustments in sidewalk width and planter strip use to create a “main street” atmosphere. The commercial street classification can also be used for industrially zoned lands where lower volume truck traffic is expected. This cross section is identical to the standard residential street, but the parking lane may be striped. Six inches of right-of-way is to be provided behind the sidewalks. The width of the planter strip is measured from the face of curb to the edge of the sidewalk, and shall be planted with trees identified on the City-approved street tree list.
Commercial Street Cross-Section. The following is the commercial street cross-section:
(a) Commercial Street with 7-foot Parking Lane. For use along commercial streets serving primarily commercial land uses, and secondarily serving residential land uses.
