(a) Factors Governing Dimensions. Block length and width or acreage within bounding roads shall be such as to accommodate the size of lot required in the area by the Zoning Code and to provide for convenient access, circulation control and safety of street traffic.
(b) Lengths. Block lengths should generally not exceed 1,800 feet or be less than 400 feet. Pedestrian crosswalks may be required under certain conditions, but should be avoided through proper block length and street design whenever possible.
(c) Width. The width of a block shall normally be sufficient to allow two tiers of lots or to provide building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use contemplated. The depth and width of properties laid out or reserved for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated. Suitable buffer and easement areas may be required where deemed essential.
(d) Crosswalks. Where crosswalks are required, they shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide.
