Driveways are prohibited within the following areas:

(1)

Within the areas set forth by the state highway department as "access denied."

(2)

Within the areas designated "access denied" on recorded subdivision plats or any other plat required to be approved by the city planning and zoning commission.

(3)

At the end of any dead-end street not terminating in a cul-de-sac or permanent turnaround and intended to be extended in the future.

(4)

Within the limits of any intersection, with the exception that special consideration will be given to major thoroughfares with existing esplanades and to streets primarily used for residential purposes.

(5)

Within any area with less than 20 feet of unobstructed depth from the right-of-way line to any obstruction.

(6)

Within an area abutting major thoroughfares where the general design of the parking does not provide the necessary depth to allow a vehicle when exiting to enter the thoroughfare in a head-out position.

(7)

Any existing driveway that may fall within an area where the 20-foot minimum unobstructed depth is shortened by the construction of a structure of any type. Such driveway shall be removed and the area restored to its original state.

(8)

Within any area where the city manager finds that it would not provide reasonable access to private property consistent with the safety and convenience of the traveling public.
