No blanket driveway exemption. The Permit Manual does not publish a clear sentence that driveway placement never needs any city permit. Do not assume a blanket driveway exemption. Prefer private property when possible, then confirm with Public Works and Parks Engineering or 311, and with Fire Prevention, for your exact case. Fire rules for containers over 6 cubic yards can still apply even on private property unless an exception fits.
