(A) The lengths, widths, and shapes of blocks, and lots within blocks, shall be determined with due regard to:
(1) Provision of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the principal and all required accessory uses;
(2) Zoning requirements as to lot sizes and dimensions, and provisions regulating off-street parking and loading spaces;
(3) Needs for convenient access, circulation, control, and safety of street traffic; and
(4) Limitations and opportunities of topography.
(B) Residential blocks shall normally be of sufficient width for two tiers of lots. Block lengths shall be determined by circulation and other needs. Where residential blocks with lots deeper than 200 feet are proposed, a reservation for a future street through the middle of the block, longitudinally, may be required.
(C) Pedestrian crosswalks, not less than ten feet wide, shall be required where deemed essential to provide circulation, or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation, and other community facilities.
