Driveways must be constructed of approved hard-surface material such as concrete or asphalt; new or widened driveways require a curb-cut permit from Public Works.
West Valley City requires all off-street parking areas and driveways to be paved with concrete, asphalt, or an approved equivalent hard surface. Gravel driveways are generally not permitted in residential zones for new construction. Any new curb cut or driveway approach onto a public street requires a Public Works permit and must meet ADA and sight-distance standards. Maximum driveway width in single-family zones is typically limited to prevent excessive paving of front yards.
