62-512 - Dimensions of visual corridors

LAST AMENDED
5/12/2021

The width of a #visual corridor# shall be determined by the width of the #street# of which it is the prolongation but in no event less than 50 feet. #Visual
corridors# that are not the prolongations of #streets# shall be at least 50 feet wide. For the purposes of establishing the width, vehicular turnarounds at
the terminations of such #streets#, including curved or flanged treatments at intersections, shall be omitted.

The level of a #visual corridor# shall be determined by establishing a plane connecting the two points along the #street lines# from which the #visual
corridor# emanates at an elevation five feet above curb elevation with the two points where the prolonged #street lines# intersect the #shoreline#,
stabilized natural shore, bulkhead, or upland edge of a #waterfront yard#, or the #base plane# of a #pier# or #platform#, whichever intersection occurs
first. Such plane shall then continue horizontally seaward from the line of intersection. #Visual corridors# that are not prolongations of mapped #streets#
shall be determined by establishing a plane connecting an elevation five feet above curb elevation at the two points along the #lot line# from which the
#visual corridor# emanates with the two points of intersection at the #shoreline#, stabilized natural shore, bulkhead, upland edge of a #waterfront yard#,
or the #base plane# of a #pier# or #platform#, whichever intersection occurs first.

No obstructions are permitted within a #visual corridor#, except as set forth in Sections 62-513 and 62-60 (DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR
WATERFRONT PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS), inclusive, when a #visual corridor# coincides with an #upland connection#.
