§ 9-5.110. Right-of-way dedications.

Prior to the issuance of any building permit or other permit for the improvement or use of property adjoining a public street, where it is reasonably contemplated by the Building Director that the proposed improvement or use of the property will cause an increase in vehicular or pedestrian traffic so as to make necessary a widening of the existing City right-of-way for the protection of the public safety and welfare, there shall be dedicated to the City that part of such property sufficient to bring such public street to the width line established therefor. In the event existing buildings or other structures are located within the right-of-way to be dedicated, the City shall compensate the owner for the costs of removing and relocating the improvements or structures to the remaining property or may permit such encroachments to remain.
