§ 15.50.030. Application for terminal interstate truck access.

A.

Any interested person requiring interstate truck terminal access from the federally designated highway system, whereby interstate trucks will utilize any unincorporated county streets in traveling to, or from, such terminal, shall submit an application, on a form as provided by the county, together with such information as may be required by the director of public works and appropriate fees to the department of public works.

B.

Upon receipt of the application, the director will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain whether or not the proposed terminal facility meets the requirements for an interstate truck terminal. Upon the approval of that designation, the director will then determine the capability of the route requested and alternate routes, whether requested or not. Determination of route capability will include, without limitation, a review of adequate turning radii and lane widths of ramps, intersections and highways; and general traffic conditions such as sight distance, speed and traffic volumes. No access off a federally designated highway system will be approved without the approval of Caltrans.

C.

Should the requested route pass through an unincorporated area of the county to a terminal located in another jurisdiction, the applicant, in addition to complying with subsection A of this section, shall comply with that jurisdiction's application process. Coordination of the approval of the route through the unincorporated county area will be the responsibility of the entity which controls the terminal's land use.

D.

No interstate truck may leave a designated terminal access route in the unincorporated area of the county except at an entrance to an authorized terminal.
