§ 9-5.020. Urban area property.

For the purposes of this chapter, property shall be considered to be in an urban area where:

A.

A substantial number of parcels of improved real property within 3,000 feet of the property and abutting upon the same street already have curbs, sidewalks, or gutters. For the purposes of this subsection, twenty-five (25%) percent or more shall be considered a substantial number; or

B.

Where it is reasonably contemplated that in the area of which the particular piece of property is a part, within five (5) years from the date of the application for the building permit it will become customary or necessary for the public welfare and safety to have sidewalks, curbs, and gutters.

The Council may, from time to time by resolution, declare which areas of the City are urban areas within the standards set forth in this section. The provisions of Sections 9-5.01 through 9-5.10, and 9-5.12 of this chapter shall, ten (10) days after such declaration, apply to such urban areas.
