A. Number of Driveways: No residential lot shall have more than two (2) driveways or curb cuts for access; the existence of a modified curb does not alter the number of driveways. A circular driveway that fronts a major collector or arterial street (sixty-six-foot (66') right-of-way or more) shall count as one (1) driveway or curb cut for access.

B. Minimum Separation: No driveway shall be closer than twelve feet (12') to another driveway. No driveway shall be located within six feet (6') of a property line, except when two (2) adjacent property owners share one (1) curb cut for two (2) driveways at the shared lot line. Each driveway shall be a minimum of twelve feet (12') in width.

C. Maximum Width: No driveway shall be more than fifty feet (50') wide and shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the frontage width.

D. Corner Lots: In no event shall a driveway be placed on any corner lot within a distance of twenty feet (20') from the point of curvature of the radius.

E. Unused Curb Cuts: Prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall replace any unused curb cuts for driveways with standard curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pavement.

F. Right-of-Way Width: No single-family residential lot shall have individual access on a public street with a right-of-way width greater than sixty-six feet (66') except as provided in this section.

G. All driveways shall be paved with concrete or asphalt in accordance with St. George standard specifications for design and construction. Concrete pavers are an approved driveway surface if built to city standards. Driveways located within the RE-20, RE-37.5, A-0.5 and A-1 zones may substitute pavement for a six-inch (6") depth of Type II road base and three inches (3") of gravel, with a minimum gravel size of one-half inch (½") in diameter. Five feet (5') of paving or concrete pavers shall be provided behind the sidewalk or property line before gravel is permitted. The gravel portion of the driveway shall be lined with a solid border such as pavers or concrete. The lot owner is responsible for any gravel on, or damage to, city property or right-of-way.
