Need Advice on Legalizing a Curb Cut for Parking

[Phil Shelton]

Hello, I currently have an empty space (about 12 feet from the property to the sidewalk and 8+ feet wide). I was wondering who I need to hire to get this space legalized for a curb cut to park a car there. The property is 30 feet by 100 feet and zoned R5. I’m not sure where to start or who to contact for assistance with this process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common

This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quickly

In some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut
