A. Land subdivided for residential uses, or for mixed use developments
with a residential component, shall be divided into blocks that conform
to this section.
B. Blocks shall be defined by the center line of an abutting street,
or by an abutting railroad right-of-way, trail right-of-way, utility
easement greater than 30 feet in width, formal open space, or Resource
Protection Area. A block or blocks that together contain up to 25%

(1)
For single-family detached, attached, or duplex uses, the depth
of a block shall be sufficient to allow two tiers of lots; however,
a depth of a single tier of lots shall be permitted when the rear
of the lots abut a street of four or more travel lanes, when a single
tier of lots is necessary or desirable as a result of the physiography
of a site, or to conform to an established pattern of development.
(2)
For multifamily residential uses and mixed use developments
with a residential component, the depth of a block shall be not less
than 250 feet and not more than 600 feet; however, the depth of a
block may be reduced when a single tier of lots is necessary or desirable
as a result of the physiography of a site, or to conform to an established
pattern of development.
E. Nonconforming blocks. Any proposed blocks of irregular shape, or otherwise failing to conform to the dimensions required in this division, may be approved as an exception to the general regulations, in accordance with the process set forth within §
72-25.3.
