2023 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 19, 2023 Page 116 B. Commercial and industrial property shall have one two-way access point. Two one-way access points per five hundred feet of total property frontage may be considered at the discretion of the County Engineer or designee. C. Additional access points may be considered by the engineer provided a development or circulation plan is submitted indicating that more than the maximum number of access points permitted in this subsection are required to adequately handle access point volumes and will not be detrimental to traffic flow on adjacent roads. D. When property frontages are narrow, such that minimum access point spacing criteria cannot be met, it may be necessary to require joint access locations for adjacent properties at property lines, termed joint usage driveway. This requirement is not intended to override the need for a secondary access for emergency vehicles if such access has been determined by the fire marshal to be necessary under the provisions of the International Fire Code. E. Spacing requirements for all access points are shown in Table 12.04.07-2 F. Secondary access for emergency vehicles may be required for certain high volume or public-safety-sensitive developments. G. No more than one access shall be granted to an individual parcel or to continuous parcels under the same ownership unless it can be shown that: 1. The additional access would be beneficial to the public; and 2. Allowing only one access would create a safety issue; and 3. The additional access would not be detrimental to public; OR 4. The additional access is for agricultural use only and the access location meets the design requirements of this section. Any change of use of the agricultural access will require the access to be reevaluated to meet the conditions of Kittitas County Road Standards.
