16.09.010 Major and Secondary Highways.
A. Where the Master Plan of Arterial Highways shows any highway so located that any portion thereof lies within any proposed division of land, right-of-way for such portion shall be provided within such division in the general location shown on the Master Plan of Arterial Highways, unless the Planning Commission finds that the Master Plan of Arterial Highways will be so amended as to remove or change the location of any portion of such highway within the proposed division.
B. Where the Planning Commission finds that the Master Plan of Arterial Highways will be amended in the future to add or reclassify a highway so located that a portion thereof lies within a proposed division of land, right-of-way for such portion shall be provided within the division in a width and at a location deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission.
16.09.020 Conformity with Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
A. Each highway shall conform in width and substantially in alignment with that shown or indicated in the Master Plan of Arterial Highways.

C. The centerline curve radius of a highway other than a major highway shall be not less than one thousand (1,000) feet.

E. This section shall not apply to reversion to acreage maps.
16.09.030 Right-of-Way and Roadway Width Requirements—Cross-Section Diagrams.
A. Each highway shall have a width of right-of-way, vehicular pavement and sidewalk where a sidewalk is required, to conform to the cross-sections or such other designs as approved by the City Engineer. The Planning Commission may modify the requirements of this section as to highway widths if topographic features, title limitations, existing improvements or safety considerations make such dedication impossible or impractical.
B. Width of Limited Secondary Highways. Where the Planning Commission finds that the traffic or drainage conditions warrant, the area eight (8) feet, zero (0) inches outside of the sixty-four (64) feet, zero (0) inch right-of-way shall be shown as a future or dedicated right-of-way. If such finding is not made, said area shall be subject to all other provisions specified by the City Zoning Code.

Any part-width highway, or any reservation therefor, lying along and abutting any boundary of a division of land shall have such a width as will conform to the lines shown on the Master Plan of Arterial Highways covering the same portion of such division.
16.09.050 Grade Separation and Bridge Approaches.
A. Wherever any highway within a division of land intersects any railroad, or interurban right-of-way, and such highway is shown upon the Master Plan of Arterial Highways, and provision is made in such plan for the location of a separation of grades at such intersection, the road layout of the division of land shall be such as to conform to such plan.
B. Each lot abutting upon a proposed cut or fill necessary for the approach to such grade separation shall be given suitable access elsewhere.
C. Wherever it is proposed to divide property abutting an approach to an existing or proposed bridge, the division shall be arranged so that any lot abutting such approach has suitable access elsewhere, and the street layout adequately provides for such approach.
