§ 19.05

Any person who constructs or causes to be constructed any building, dwelling or other structure for which a building permit is required shall be obligated to construct or have constructed or repaired street frontage improvements and driveways as specified within Title 24 of this Marin County Code, along all the street frontages abutting the building site upon which the building, dwelling or structure is to be constructed, unless adequate street frontage improvements already exist and are in good condition.

(Ord. No. 3658, § II(exh. A), 2016)

The requirements for street frontage improvements shall be as set forth within Title 24. Street frontage improvements may include curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street pavement, driveways, parking areas, retaining walls, storm drainage facilities, and related improvements, and dedication of such additional rights-of-way as are necessary for these improvements which conform with the class of street and extent of street improvements required pursuant to Title 24.

(Ord. No. 3658, § II(exh. A), 2016)

The adequacy of existing street frontage improvements shall be determined, in each instance, by the director of public works, or his authorized representative, and an endorsement to that effect shall be made upon each building permit, prior to its issuance.

(Ord. No. 3658, § II(exh. A), 2016)

The required new street frontage improvements shall be comparable to those improvements required by Title 24 of this code for new subdivisions, except to the extent that the director of public works may waive such requirements for improvements the construction of which would be impossible or impractical.

(Ord. No. 3658, § II(exh. A), 2016)

Street frontage to be improved shall consist of the abutting one-half standard street section, provided that, in all cases, a minimum improved width of eighteen feet shall be required.

(Ord. No. 3658, § II(exh. A), 2016)

Where street frontage improvements are not constructed, or repaired, as required, the building official shall deny final approval and acceptance, and shall refuse to allow final public utility connections to the building, dwelling, or structure, unless a bond or cash deposit guaranteeing the construction of the required street frontage improvements is deposited with the county. The amount of bond or cash deposit shall be determined by the director of public works and shall not exceed the estimated cost of the construction.

(Ord. No. 3658, § II(exh. A), 2016)

Where private roadways, leading to the building site, are less than eighteen feet in width, the director of public works may require such improvements as he deems necessary for proper access and for health, safety and convenience.
