State law prevents lowering intersection visibility height; commission keeps current standard

Aug 3, 2026

Staff told the planning commission it could not lower the intersection visibility height from 36 to 30 inches because of "Senate Bill 1 80," so the proposed change in ordinance 20-26-11 was not adopted; the commission recommended the ordinance advance unchanged.

The full story

Staff presented ordinance 20-26-11 on intersection visibility and said the commission's earlier proposal to lower the required clear height from 36 inches to 30 inches could not be implemented. "We can't do that because of Senate Bill 1 80," staff said, explaining that state law would make the proposed change more restrictive for developers and therefore incompatible with the bill. Staff otherwise reported only minor changes since the last presentation.
