(A) Block length and width or acreage within bounding streets 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. Blocks that are unreasonably large or small will not be approved.
(B) The maximum block length shall be 1,200 feet or no more than 12 times the lot width permitted in the applicable zoning district, whichever is shorter. Block length shall be measured as the distance between intersecting streets.
(C) Residential blocks shall be of sufficient depth to accommodate two tiers of lots of minimum depth, except where reverse or double frontage lots bordering a freeway, arterial street or floodplain are used.
(D) In the design of blocks longer than 800 feet, the Commission may specify the provision of pedestrian crosswalks near the center, or wherever most useful to facilitate pedestrians circulation, utilities or drainage.
