The City shall protect existing and future rights-of-way from building encroachment. The measurement of this Objective is the lack of building encroachment on existing and future rights-of-way and the degree to which the following Policy is implemented.
Policy T-4.1
The City shall require dedication or reservation of future rights-of-way for major components of the overall transportation network when development takes place in a previously undeveloped area and when such future rights-of-way traverse or abut the property to be developed. Furthermore, with respect to S.R.-A1A, the City shall take steps to protect and preserve right-of-way to comply with the Maximum Through-Lane Standards by using such strategies as building setback requirements, donation/dedication of right-of-way by developers, advance right-of-way acquisition, or enactment of a right-of-way protection ordinance.
Policy T-4.2:
The City shall continue to enforce and update as needed the current ordinances that provide for right-of-way encroachment protection for new and existing buildings.
