How close can my driveway be located to the side lot line?

You will need to plan enough space between the driveway and side lot line for proper grading on your property to ensure that drainage will not affect the adjoining property. Stormwater must not run off onto other properties. In addition to this, plan for enough room so that the driveway apron in the right-of-way will not affect neighboring driveways or other features such as fire hydrants, drainage inlets, etc.
