(a) Blocks shall be designated to accommodate lots of a size required for the zoning district and to provide convenient circulation, service and safety on the boundary streets. The block shall be designed so that rear lot lines coincide with drainage courses, railroads and divisions in land use.
(b) The maximum length of a block shall generally be one-fourth (1/4) of a mile or one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet. The Planning Commission may require a cross walkway in a block that exceeds nine hundred (900) feet.
(c) The width of a block shall be sufficient to accommodate two (2) tiers of lots, except a single tier of lots which have a greater depth than the minimum requirement of one hundred twenty (120) feet may be required to separate residential development from major streets adjoining nonresidential uses or unusual topographic or natural features. An easement for screen planting of at least ten (10) feet in depth may be required along the lots abutting such major street or nonresidential land use, and such easement shall not be traversed by vehicles.
(d) Blocks for multifamily, commercial or industrial subdivisions shall be adequate to accommodate the building sites and to provide the yards, service drives, off-street parking and other required facilities. (Ord. 10-2016. Passed 12-20-16.)
