(a) Length. Blocks shall not be less than 400 nor more than 1,200 feet in length, except as the Planning Commission may permit to secure efficient use of the land or desired features of street pattern. In blocks over 800 feet in length, the Planning Commission may require one or more public crosswalks of not less than ten feet in width to extend entirely across the block and at locations deemed necessary.
(b) Width. Blocks shall be wide enough to allow two tiers of lots of minimum depth, except where fronting on major streets, where adjoining undeveloped land, or where prevented by topographical conditions or size of the property, in which case the Planning Commission will approve a single tier of lots of minimum depth.
(c) Irregular Shapes. Irregular shaped blocks, those intended for cul-de-sacs or loop streets, and those containing interior parks or playgrounds, may be approved by the Planning Commission if properly designed and located and if maintenance of interior public spaces is covered by agreements.
