Kindred increases residential driveway maximum to 40 feet
Summary
The council approved changing the maximum residential driveway width to 40 feet or half the lot width, whichever is less, to reflect modern garage sizes while noting concerns about street parking and drainage.
The Kindred City Council voted April 1, 2026, to increase the maximum residential driveway width to 40 feet or half the lot width, whichever is less.
Council members noted that the prior ordinance (adopted in 2004) reflected more common two-car garages and that wider driveways accommodate modern three-car garages. The council discussed trade-offs including reduced street parking, potential impacts to storm drainage, and conflicts with right-of-way boulevards; the change was approved to better align ordinance standards with current development patterns.
The motion to approve the amendment passed by roll-call vote.
