Residential driveways must be paved with concrete or asphalt, meet minimum width standards, and cannot cover more than 40% of the front yard area.
Sandy requires all driveways to be constructed of concrete, asphalt, or approved pavers, not gravel or dirt in most zones. Minimum driveway width is 10 feet for single-car and 18 feet for double-car. Front yard hardscape coverage (including driveway) is generally capped at 40-50% to preserve neighborhood character and stormwater infiltration. Driveway approaches crossing the sidewalk require a Public Works permit.
