Anaheim Municipal Code Ch. 12.28 Construction of Buildings — Provision for Cement Curbs, Gutters, Sidewalks

Any owner, lessee or agent constructing or arranging for the construction of any building or dwelling within the City of Anaheim shall also provide for the construction of cement curbs, gutters and sidewalks in accordance with the requirements of Title 17 and City specification, unless adequate curbs, gutters and sidewalks already exist, along all street frontage adjoining the lot or lots on which the building or dwelling is to be constructed; provided, however, that in areas not subdivided or parceled into one-half acre or smaller lots, the curbs, gutters and sidewalks need not extend a greater distance than the side yards or side or rear yards in the case of corner lots. (Ord. 957 (part); December 28, 1954.)

The Building Inspector shall deny final approval and acceptance or final public utility connections to any building or dwelling until said curbs, gutters and sidewalks exist or are constructed, or their construction is guaranteed by cash deposited with the City of Anaheim in a sum equal to the estimated cost of the improvement. In the event said owner, lessee or agent shall furnish all labor and materials and shall construct or cause to be constructed said curbs, gutters and sidewalks in accordance with the specifications of the City of Anaheim, he or she shall be entitled to a return of said sum so deposited, after final approval of said materials and work by the Director of Public Works, and the expiration of the time for the filing of liens for materials furnished or labor performed in connection therewith. If unnecessary hardships or results inconsistent with the general purpose of this chapter result through the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement thereof in relation to properties which, because of size, shape, location or other special circumstances might be unreasonably or inconsistently affected by the provisions of this chapter, the City Council may, on application of the owner or owners of such property, waive the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 957 (part); December 28, 1954; Ord. 5855 § 35; April 29, 2003.)
