§ 17.20.180. Visibility.

In order to safely accommodate vehicular movements to and from public streets, the sight distance and visibility provisions in the traffic and parking code and the following provisions shall be required.

A.

At street intersections nothing shall be erected that will obstruct vision at any point above the center line grades of the intersecting streets within the triangular area formed by the right-of-way lines and a straight line joining the right-of-way lines at points which are thirty-five feet distant from the intersection of the right-of-way lines and measured along such right-of-way lines. Development within the urban zoning overlay district and in the CC, CF and MUI districts shall be exempt from this provision. (See Figure 17.20.180)

B.

In all zoning districts, no fence, wall, hedge, or other planting or structure shall be allowed on private property that will obstruct vision at any point where private driveways intersect a public street in such a manner as to interfere with traffic visibility of any driver using an authorized driveway, alley or roadway.
