(A) Dimensions. Block length and width within bounding streets must be sufficient to accommodate the lot sizes required by the zoning district and to provide convenient access, circulation, and safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
(B) Length. The maximum block length is 800 feet. This requirement does not apply to blocks containing lots abutting the boundary lines of the parent track of a subdivision. In granting modifications to allow blocks longer than 800 feet, the Plan Commission may require crosswalks and traffic calming measures where useful to facilitate pedestrian circulation.
(C) Depth. Residential blocks must have sufficient depth to accommodate two tiers of lots, except where reverse frontage lots bordering on a freeway, arterial street or floodplain are used.
(D) Shape. Blocks should fit easily into the overall design of the subdivision and their design must reflect consideration of lot layout, configuration, traffic flow, and public areas.
