(a) Block length. Block lengths in plats for single family lots should not exceed 1200 feet measured from block corner to block corner. The length may be extended if, upon recommendation from the director and the chief planning officer, the commission finds that the extraordinary topography or shape of the property unduly limits the development potential of the property, and that the proposed development is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter.
(b) Other considerations. Block length and width must be designed to accommodate the type of use anticipated and must provide for safe and convenient access and circulation. Block design must take into account the physical characteristics of the topography. (Ord. Nos. 20092; 23384; 25047; 28073; 29478)
