I want to add to my existing driveway (or add a second driveway) by removing a side lawn. Do I need to notify anyone?
There are codes restricting both the amount of driveway width allowed per residence (35 feet maximum for single family and duplex residential) and how a driveway ties in or encroaches onto the public right-of-way (the sidewalk). The General Services Department should be contacted at 916-727-4770 for an encroachment permit if the existing sidewalk will be part of the driveway. If a second driveway is being considered, the Planning Division should be contacted at 916-727-4740.
