Rocky Ridge adopts zoning language clarifying intersection visibility
Summary
The town approved Planning & Zoning revisions to 15.08 General Zoning Regulations, removing language that may have applied intersection visibility requirements to private driveways and formalizing a 'visual triangle' for intersections.
The Rocky Ridge Town Council approved revisions to the town zoning code intended to improve sight‑line standards at street intersections.
Planning and Zoning presented edits to address blocked visibility at intersections and to specify a “visual triangle” that requires at least 50% visibility near intersections. Officials clarified the changes are aimed at street intersections and that driveway visibility standards still require further work. In response to resident questions, the council removed the phrase “from adjacent driveways” from paragraph 15.08.04.1 (Height of Fences, Walls, and Hedges in Residential Zones) to avoid unintentionally applying intersection standards to private driveways.
Council Member Byron Allred moved to approve the updated code; Council Member Chuck Todd seconded and the motion carried. Planning and Zoning will continue work on driveway visibility language and return to the council as needed.
