A. The lengths, widths and shapes of blocks shall be determined with due regard to the provision of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use contemplated; zoning requirements as to lot sizes and dimensions; needs for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic; and limitations and opportunities of topography.
B. Block lengths shall not exceed one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet or be less than three hundred (300) feet, except as the city council considers necessary to secure efficient use of land or desired features of street layout.
C. Blocks shall be wide enough to allow two tiers of lots of minimum depth; provided, that where this would require lots to front on an arterial street or highway or where topographical conditions or the size of the property prevent two tiers of lots, the city council may approve a single tier of lots of minimum depth.
