Prior to requesting a driveway entrance permit for all new commercial or multi-family
development driveway entrance(s), or a new single- or two-family residential driveway
on any roadway, the applicant shall submit site plans to the director in accordance
with Section 3342.03 of Columbus City Code. The fee for permits to construct, reconstruct,
or repair sidewalks or shared-use paths or driveway entrances shall be established
by the director. Such fees shall include the cost to issue, perform necessary inspections
and plan review as needed and required. Such fee shall be charged and collected by
the director and deposited with the city treasurer to the credit of the development
services revenue fund.
All permits herein provided for shall become null and void ninety (90) days from the
date of issuance, if not used, and any money paid therefore shall in no case be refunded.
No permit shall be issued except to the owner of the abutting property or their authorized
agent. The director may refuse to issue any permit when design is not in compliance
with the associated rules and regulations of the department of public service, the
city's standard construction drawings, and/or standard engineering profession principles
and shall refuse any permit where the director has not approved the plans for construction
of the requested driveway entrance.
