The city shall evaluate and carry out projects as follows, and the mayor, public works director, or city council may authorize exceptions and exemptions to this chapter as follows:

A. Where a street project would require the inclusion of street uses prohibited by law, the street project may exclude such street uses.

B. For ordinary maintenance activities, such as mowing, snowplowing, sweeping, spot repair, joint or crack sealing, or pothole filling, the elements of this chapter shall be applied only to such activities.

C. For ordinary maintenance paving projects, the city should evaluate conditions of existing facilities supporting alternate transportation modes and appropriate modification of existing pavement markings and signage related to such alternate transportation modes.

D. For street reconstruction projects and maintenance paving projects that involve widening of pavement, elements of this chapter may be excluded when the accommodation of a specific use is expected to:

1. Require more space than is physically available;

2. Be located where both current and future demand is proven to be absent;

3. Drastically increase project costs and equivalent alternatives are available within close proximity;

4. Cause adverse impacts on environmental resources, such as streams, wetlands, floodplains, or on historic structures or sites, over and above the impacts of the existing infrastructure; or

5. Result in cost that is disproportionate to the current need or probable future use.

E. For street projects, sidewalks may be excluded outside of areas identified as appropriate for sidewalks in an adopted sidewalk policy. (Ord. 1129-16 § 1 (Exh. A)).
