(a) The arrangement of blocks shall be such as to conform to the street planning criteria set forth in Section 1125.13 and shall be arranged to accommodate lots and building sites of the size and character required for the zoning district as set forth in this code.
(b) Subdivisions shall be designed with blocks of sufficient width to permit two (2) tiers of lots of appropriate depth, except where an interior street parallels a limited access highway, arterial street, or railroad right-of-way.
(c) Irregularly shaped blocks, including superblocks, indented by cul-de-sacs, containing interior parks or playgrounds and adequate parking spaces, will be acceptable when properly designed and covered by agreements as to maintenance of such park areas.
(d) Blocks shall have a maximum length of 1,800 feet. In reviewing the subdivision plat, the Planning Commission can modify these requirements for blocks that will be located adjacent to nonresidential uses or where there are unusual topographic or natural features. Where a block is over 900 feet in length, the Planning Commission may require a mid-block crosswalk.
(e) Blocks intended for business or industry shall be of such length as may be considered most suitable for their prospective use, including adequate provision for parking and deliveries.
(f) Where a subdivision adjoins a major thoroughfare, the block shall be oriented so that there will be the fewest points of direct ingress and egress along such major thoroughfare as possible.
(g) Irregularly shaped blocks, those intended for cul-de-sac or loop streets, and those containing interior parks or playgrounds, may be approved if properly designed and located, and if the maintenance of interior public spaces is covered by agreements.
