(a)

No building or structure shall be erected, enlarged or altered and no property shall hereafter be improved for parking purposes, and no building permit shall be issued therefor, unless the one-half (½) of the street which is located on the same side of the center line of the street as such lot has dedicated right-of-way for full width of the lot so as to meet the master plan and/or standards for such street. In addition to required dedication for street purposes, additional dedication for storm drain, sewer, water or other utility purposes may also be required in connection with building permits where such dedication is necessary to prevent the flooding of adjacent or nearby properties or to permit connection to required utilities.

(b)

No building or structure shall hereafter be erected on any lot within a public easement unless an encroachment permit has been issued by the city engineer.

(c)

Any person required to dedicate land by this section shall make an offer to dedicate property, executed by all parties of interest including beneficiaries and trustees in deeds of trust as shown by a current preliminary title report prepared by a title report prepared by a title company approved by the city engineer. Such report shall be on a form approved by the city attorney and the city engineer; be in such terms as to be binding on the owner, his heirs, assigns or successors in interest; and shall continue in effect until the city council accepts or rejects such offer.
