The following standards shall be observed in the design of blocks.
(A) Residential block length. Intersecting streets shall be provided at such intervals as necessary to meet existing street patterns, topography and standards required for safe and convenient vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Blocks should not, however, exceed 1,600 feet in length, nor be less than 500 feet in length.
(B) Residential block width. The width of blocks shall be sufficient to provide for two tiers of lots of appropriate depth.
(C) Non-residential blocks. Blocks intended for non-residential uses shall be of such length width, and other design as the Commission finds necessary for the prospective use, including adequate provision for off-street parking, loading and unloading, and limitation and control of vehicular access points to adjacent streets.
