A. No person other than the City and its agents may dig, cut, drill (vertical, horizontal, directional, or other), excavate (mechanical, hydro- or other), install, or construct anything within any right-of-way or property owned or controlled by the City, including public easements, without a City right-of-way permit. No person other than the City may remove, alter, or construct any curb, sidewalk, driveway approach, gutter, pavement, or other improvement in any public right-of-way or property owned or controlled by the City without a City right-of-way permit. No person other than the City may wholly or partially reserve, occupy, or close a sidewalk, vehicle lane, or bike lane in a City-administered right-of-way without a right-of-way permit. A traffic control plan consistent with the City of Bend Standards and Specifications must be submitted with any application for a right-of-way permit that will include a lane closure.

B. A right-of-way permit may be issued if the proposed improvement complies with this code, the Standards and Specifications, the Bend Development Code, and if the applicant is in compliance with all outstanding right-of-way permits. The City may deny an application for a right-of-way permit or impose conditions of approval to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations or to preserve infrastructure. Conditions may include, but are not limited to, restoration of surfaces, timing of the work to be performed, utility coordination, and traffic control requirements. The conditions relating to timing may include specific penalties for failure to comply. The right-of-way permit shall specify the extent of any permitted lane closure. [Ord. NS-2282, 2016; Ord.
