Temple Terrace driveways must be paved with concrete, asphalt, or pavers, and connect to the street via a permitted curb cut. Maximum driveway width at the property line is 20 feet for single-family homes, and impervious coverage contributes to lot-coverage calculations.
City Code requires all residential driveways to be improved surfaces. Gravel, dirt, and grass driveways are not permitted in new construction. Curb cuts require a Public Works right-of-way permit and must maintain a 5-foot minimum separation from the side property line. Circular driveways are allowed on lots wider than 80 feet. The driveway apron between the sidewalk and curb must meet ADA cross-slope standards. New impervious driveways count toward the 50-percent maximum lot coverage in most Temple Terrace residential zones.
Unpermitted curb cut $300 fine plus restoration cost. Unimproved driveway surface code violation $150 with 30 days to remediate. Excess width removal of nonconforming portion required.
