These guidelines set forth the minimum acceptable requirements for curb, gutter and sidewalk in the City of Palmdale. Listed below are the conditions under which these requirements apply.
Following is a graphic presentation of street sections, showing required curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements in their proper dimensions.
As a matter of clarification, the width of sidewalks adjacent to curb are measured from the back of curb to the outside edge of sidewalk (i.e., a 5' wide sidewalk adjacent to curb includes only the sidewalk width and not the width of the curb):
a. In urban areas where the minimum size of single family residential lots is less than or equal to one acre, standard (6" or 8" standup face) curb and gutter, 5' wide concrete sidewalks and concrete drive approaches shall be required on both sides of streets of the following classifications:
Service roads (roads having access on one side) shall require curb and gutter on both sides of the street and 5' wide sidewalk on the fronting side of the street.
b. In urban areas where the minimum size of single family residential lots is greater than one acre, curb, gutter and sidewalk requirements shall be determined by the City Engineer for approval on a case by case basis.
