DRAFT LAND SUBDIVISIONS CODE TEXT ZZ. Amend 15-34A, Blocks, by adding the underlined text: A. Blocks: 1. Blocks should be limited in size and be laid out in a pattern that ensures the connectivity of streets, provides for efficient provision of public and safety services, and establishes efficient and logical routes between residences and nonresidential destinations and public gathering places. 2. Block Lengths: a. Except as required by Article 14-2H (Form -Based Zones And Standards), to provide multiple travel routes within and between neighborhoods, block faces along local and collector streets should range between three hundred (300) and six hundred feet (600') in length and for residential subdivisions have a width sufficient to accommodate two (2) tiers of lots. Longer block faces may be allowed in cases of large lot commercial, industrial, or rural residential development, or where topography, water features, or existing development prevents shorter block lengths, although midblock pedestrian connections may be required (see section 15-3-3 of this chapter). Block faces are measured from centerline to centerline. b. Where the area is subject to Article 14-2H (Form -Based Zones And Standards), the block network shall substantially comply with the Form -Based Code Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan and shall meet the following standards: (1) Individual block lengths and the total block perimeter shall comply with the standards in Table 15-3-4A-1 (Block Size Standards). Where a block contains multiple Form -Based Zones, the most intense zone is to be used to establish the standards for block size. Blocks may exceed the maximum allowed length if a compliant passage (14-2H-9L) is provided to break up the block. Table 15-3-4A-1: Block Size Standards Length Length (max.)

(2) Blocks shall be a minimum width to result in two (2) halves of developable design sites in compliance with the minimum design site depth standards of the allowed building types in the Form -Based Zone. When the zone has a range of minimum design site depths, the applicant may show the shortest minimum design site depth with an acknowledgement that the selected depth may not accommodate the full range of building types allowed by the zone. A single half is allowed when adjoining an existing half -block. (3) The size, shape, length, location, and design of blocks may vary from the Future Land Use Map where required to accommodate sensitive areas, or where the variation complies maintains street connectivity, complies with Table 15-3-4A-1 (Block Size Standards, minimizes changes to Form -Based Zones on each block, and adjusts all blocks affected by the proposed change(s). Where this affects the location, shape, or design of civic space, the variation shall maintain civic space of a similar size in a nearby location within the subdivision. 3. Block faces along arterial streets should be at least six hundred feet (600') in length. Intersecting collector streets should be spaced in a manner that provides adequate connectivity between neighborhoods, but also maintains the capacity of the street for the safe and efficient movement of traffic. Longer block faces may be required along high capacity or higher speed arterial streets where the interests in moving traffic outweigh the connectivity between areas of development. The city may approve shorter block faces in high density commercial areas or other areas with high pedestrian counts. 4. Cul-de-sacs may not exceed nine hundred feet (900') in length. The length of a cul- de-sac is measured from the centerline of the street from which it commences to the center of the bulb. 5. Adjustments to Block Size Standards a. The individual block lengths and the total block perimeter standards of each zone in this section may be adjusted as part of the subdivision process. In considering an adjustment, the Director of Neighborhood and Development Services shall find that the proposed adjustment meets the following criteria: M Demonstrates that one or more of the following special circumstances apply to the property, which make it impractical to comply with the block size standards: 1. The adjustment is needed to avoid a regulated sensitive area. 2. The adjustment is needed to reduce the amount of grading needed due to the property's existing topography. 3. The adjustment is needed because the alignment of an existing street that must be extended creates a configuration that makes compliance impractical. 37 Ordinance NA. Page 38 The adjustment is needed because the abutting neighborhood is designed with longer blocks that impact the proposed development.

The adjustment is needed because visibility and access to public parks, civic uses, and natural open spaces are provided through other means besides a single -loaded street. The adjustment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be incurious to other property or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property is located. u The adjustment requested is in conformity with the intent and purpose of the regulation modified. The requested adjustment complies with other applicable statutes, ordinances, laws, and regulations. Section Il. Repealer.

(2) A $2.8 million budgeted deficit in the General Fund signals that it could be very difficult to maintain municipal service levels, grant programs and external organization funding the coming years. Service level reductions and interruptions should be anticipated. (3) Resources are provided to extend fare -free transit and make considerable investments in housing, both strategic plan priorities.
