The maximum width for a driveway access to a single family dwelling unit shall not exceed 24 feet along the existing curb line. No curb radii will be permitted and all driveway accesses shall be created through the construction of depressed concrete curbing in accordance with City Standards. Only one 24 foot wide driveway access per residential lot will be permitted.  However, due to the uniqueness of this Zoning District and in order to create creative building styles while maintaining on street parking, two driveway access per lot may be permitted providing all of the following requirements can be met.  For single family lots having at least 58 feet of frontage along the road right of way, two driveway accesses (curb cuts), not exceeding nine (9) feet each in depressed width may be permitted. In such case, the two driveways must be positioned so that there is at least 20 feet of vertical curbing between the two driveway depressions and there must be at least ten (10) feet from the edge of each driveway depression to the property line. No driveway depression shall be permitted within 25 feet of the established curb line of an intersecting street. For corner properties the two driveway accesses must be along the same street.
