The public right-of-way (ROW) is generally the area 10 feet from the curb.

• Right-of-way permit application (.pdf file)
• Horizontal directional drilling guidelines
• Manual of infrastructure standards for ROW restoration (.pdf file)
• Requirements for residential driveway approaches within city ROW (.pdf file)

Permits are required for all work in the right-of-way, with three exceptions:

• Work that has been permitted under other city permits.
  
  
• Contractors working on the construction or reconstruction of public improvements.
  
  
• Right-of-way users performing routine service operations that do not require excavation in the right-of-way and do not disrupt traffic for more than four hours.

Replacement of a residential driveway or installation of an irrigation system in the right of way does require a permit.
