Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.410.075 Nonconforming Status of Gravel Driveways

All residential driveways and parking areas in existence prior to June 1, 1991, and not paved with a hard surface in compliance with O.P.M.C. 18.430.020 shall be considered a ”nonconforming site improvement.” Such driveways and parking areas shall not be required to be paved, but shall be required to comply with all maintenance standards established for gravel driveways and parking areas. In order to be granted this nonconforming site improvement status, the existence and the relative size and location of a gravel driveway must be recorded in the Overland Park Gravel Driveway Survey of 1991, or be registered with the Department of Planning and Research (now known as Department of Planning and Development Services) as provided in this section. Residents and property owners will have until December 31, 1992, to verify the accuracy of the survey as it applies to their property or to register their property by showing that a gravel driveway existed prior to June 1, 1991. After December 31, 1992, unpaved driveways and parking areas which are not included in the survey or registered with the City will be presumed to be unlawful unless the property owner can provide convincing evidence to the contrary.
