A. The lengths, widths, and shapes of blocks shall be determined with due regard for the following:
1. To ensure a well-connected street network that considers future development;
2. To avoid super blocks with limited connectivity and that discourage pedestrian activity, contribute to street congestion, and increase driving distance that can negatively impact emergency services;
3. To provide safe and convenient vehicular and pedestrian access within developments and between adjacent developments and to lessen traffic congestion; and
4. To promote safe, direct and convenient pedestrian, bike and vehicular access.
B. Blocks used for residential use shall not be longer than six hundred feet (600') as measured along the centerline of the block. The Plan Commission may require a dedicated common area easement in length of not less than across any portion of the block.
C. Blocks used for residential purposes should be of sufficient width to allow for two tiers of lots of appropriate depth.
D. Blocks intended for business and industrial use should be of a width suitable for the intended use, with due allowance for off-street parking and loading facilities.
