Subject: 840 Daley ST - driveway access & sidewalk question
Hi Jeanie,
My wife and I are looking to build a new home and ADU on this property. We talked to Tristan in
planning and he referred us to you for these questions:
1. Can we have garage and driveway access w/ curb cut off Daley ST? (most, if not all, other
homes on street have driveway access off Daley) A curb cut on Daley Street, to City standards,
will be allowed. The City restricts sites to alley access within our Downtown Business Area, but
not at the location of the subject property.
2. Would we need to install sidewalks in front row? City code requires sidewalks to be
constructed along the property frontage within the RS-6 zone, but currently a demo and rebuild
would not trigger that requirement. A future code update (anticipated sometime this year) will
likely change that, however. I'm not sure timing of your project, but wanted you to be aware.
3. If we decide to build ADU in SE corner of home, can ADU parking access off alley? It appears
the current property takes access from the alley, which would indicate the alley has likely been
improved to at least that point. If that is accurate, then we could safely say access could be
allowed without additional research. The gravel in the alley may need to be refreshed to ensure
hard surface the full width of the alley and the driveway/parking area on -site would need to be
asphalt or concrete (not gravel). Any new hard surface area (within the alley and on -site) would
count in the overall calculation of new/replaced area associated with the development.
Thank you for your help, and please let me know if you questions.
