The layout and shape of all blocks shall be compatible with proposed land uses, zoning requirements, need for convenient access, control and safety of traffic flow and the opportunities and limitations of topography and other natural environmental factors. Block lengths in residential areas shall measure no less than 600 feet between centerlines unless dictated by topography or other limiting factors of good design.
(b)
Blocks shall have sufficient width to provide for two tiers of lots of a depth meeting requirements of the governing zoning ordinance, except where otherwise required to buffer residential development from through traffic.
(c)
Pedestrian ways or sidewalks may be required where deemed essential by the county planner to provide adequate pedestrian circulation or access to schools, parks or other recreation facilities, shopping centers, churches or other facilities.
