The following regulations shall govern the design and layout of blocks:
(a) The arrangement of blocks shall be such as to conform to the street planning criteria set forth in Section 1246.04 to accommodate lots and building sites of the size and character required for the particular zoning district, as set forth in these Subdivision Regulations or this Planning and Zoning Code, and to provide for required community facilities.
(b) Irregularly shaped blocks, those intended for cul-de-sacs or loop streets, and those containing interior parks or playgrounds, may be approved by the Commission if properly designed and located, and if the maintenance of interior public spaces is covered by agreements.
(c) No block shall be more than 1,500 feet or less than 400 feet in length, and the block width shall accommodate two tiers of lots, except where unusual topography or other exceptional physical circumstances exist.
(d) Where blocks are more than 900 feet in length, a walkway easement extending across the block not less than ten feet in width at or near the halfway point may be required, if necessary, to provide proper access to schools, recreational areas, shopping centers and other facilities.
