§ 3-6-83. Underlying considerations.

It is an underlying consideration of this article that:

(1)

Every owner of property which abuts a non-limited-access road on the county's highway network has a right to reasonable access but may not have the right of a particular means of access.

(2)

The access rights of an owner or property abutting the county's highway network are subordinate to the public's right and interest in a safe and efficient countywide highway system.

(3)

In order to protect public health, safety and welfare, vehicular access and connections with highways in the county's transportation network shall be regulated by the county in accordance with the provisions of this article.

(4)

These are various innovative methods that may be employed to reduce traffic congestion on highways fronting developable property. Examples include service drives, continuous right-turn lanes, access from collection streets, commercial parks, and combined parking/access systems. In such cases, any innovative design that is consistent with the spirit and intent of the comprehensive plan traffic circulation element and meets the performance/design standards specified in this article will be considered by the public words department or through the site plan review within the development review committee (DRC) process, where applicable.
