percentage. (c) If a parcel has frontage on two or more streets of different street classifications, the access connection shall access the street with the lowest classification. The access connection can access the street with the higher classification if the applicant can demonstrate (1), (2) or (3): 1. Both of the following conditions are met: a. The proposed access connection is abutted by two or more directional travel lanes or an auxiliary deceleration lane; and b. The applicant proposes a restricted movement access connection, including but not limited to median barriers or directional in/out barriers. 2. Physical conditions preclude locating the access connection on the street with the lower classification. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, topography, trees, existing buildings or other existing development on the subject property or adjacent property. 3. The access connection for a parcel with frontage on an arterial or major collector can be located consistent with the requirements of EC 7.420(2)(a)-(e).

A public access easement shall be recorded and submitted to the city upon issuance of a permit to construct the access connection. (2) Access Connections to Arterial and Major Collector Streets. In addition to the standards set forth in this EC 7.420(1), access connections to arterial and major collector streets shall be located in accordance with the following standards. (a) Except when an existing lot or parcel is located entirely within the intersection influence area, no access connection to an arterial or major collector street shall be located within the intersection influence area.

Influence areas of controlled intersections shall be based on the street classification as set out in the chart below. The influence area for the primary street shall be measured from the centerline of the secondary street; the influence area for the secondary street shall be measured from the centerline of the primary street.
