Converse driveways require a permit from Public Works when connecting to a public street. Surfaces must be paved, widths typically 9-24 ft, and front-yard parking must stay on the improved drive.
Converse regulates driveway construction, curb cuts, and surface materials through the Zoning Ordinance and Public Works standards. New driveways or modifications to existing curb cuts require a driveway permit. Residential driveways are generally limited in width (often 9-24 feet) and must be set back from side property lines. Surface materials must be paved (concrete, asphalt, or approved pavers); raw dirt or grass driveways generally do not meet maintenance code standards. Parking of vehicles must occur on the improved driveway, not in landscaped front yards. Driveways cannot interfere with sidewalks, drainage structures, or fire hydrant access, and must maintain sight distance triangles at intersections. Commercial driveways require engineered plans showing stacking depth, turn radii, and ADA-compliant connections. Shared driveways across lot lines require recorded easements. Contact Converse Public Works and Planning at (210) 658-5356 for driveway permit applications, fees, and inspection scheduling before pouring concrete.
