City of San Ramon, CA | Municipal Code 525

Acceptance of a building permit by an applicant after determination by the city engineer that the provisions of this chapter are applicable shall constitute an agreement on behalf of the applicant and owner, their heirs, successors and assigns, to comply with all the terms and conditions imposed by the city engineer's findings, this chapter, and all other applicable ordinances and statutes.

A. Costs. Upon proper written application to the council and investigation and recommendation to the council by the city engineer, the city may contribute to the costs of making any improvements required by this chapter, if the city engineer determines that they are excessive due to topography or other natural causes or will greatly exceed the costs of other property owners in the immediate vicinity who are required to make improvements hereunder. B. Plans. The office of the city engineer shall provide plans showing line and grade, and shall place one set of construction stakes. If the city engineer cannot provide plans or survey stakes in time to coordinate with the applicant's schedule, the applicant will furnish construction plans for review and approval by the city engineer before construction starts.

On a lot which is affected by street widening required by the provisions of this chapter, all required yards, setbacks, parking area, loading space and building locations for new buildings or structures or additions to buildings or structures, shall be measured and calculated from the new lot lines being created by the widening; but, for the purpose of establishing the required front yard depth on a frontage where the ultimate curb line has been determined under the provisions of this chapter, the depths of all existing front yards may be measured from such ultimate curb line instead of the front lot line. In applying all other provisions of this code, the area of such lot shall be considered as that which existed immediately before such required road widening. (Ord. 230 § 2 (Exh. A) (part), 1992)
