This division provides for lots, blocks, buildings and structures that provide a pedestrian scale, offer alternative paths for vehicular traffic, and accommodate on-street parking. Standards are provided to ensure that lots have adequate access and conform to the zoning provisions of the UDC. The city finds and determines that long blocks lined with homes and other buildings reduce street connectivity and impair the efficiency of public and safety services while increasing distances between residences and non- residential destinations or public gathering places. Exceptions to these standards are made for non-urban districts and zoning districts that require greater flexibility in order to encourage environmental protection or economic development.
