(A) Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces any part of a street designated in an adopted Street Classification Plan, such street shall be platted in conformance therewith.

(B) Street layout shall provide for the continuation of such streets as the Department may designate.

(C) Whenever a tract to be subdivided is located within an area for which a neighborhood plan has been approved by the Board, the street arrangement shall conform substantially to said plan.

(D) Certain proposed streets, as designated by the Department, shall be extended to the tract boundary to provide future connection with adjoining unplatted lands.

(E) Local streets shall be so arranged as to discourage their use by through traffic.

(F) Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed major street, the Department may require marginal access roads or reverse frontage with non access easements along the major street or such other treatment as may be justified for protection of residential properties from the nuisance and hazard of high volume traffic and to preserve the traffic function of the major street in other types of developments.

(G) Where a subdivision abuts or contains the right of way of a railroad, drainageway, a limited access highway or an irrigation canal or abuts a commercial or industrial land use, the Department may require the location of a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right of way at a distance suitable for appropriate use of the intervening land. Such distance shall be determined with due regard for approach grades, drainage, bridges or future grade separations.

(H) Streets shall be so arranged in relation to existing topography as to produce desirable lots of maximum utility and streets of reasonable gradient and to facilitate adequate drainage.

(I) Alleys may be required in residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions where needed to provide access to development due to topography, lot sizes or other circumstances.

(J) Half streets shall be discouraged except where necessary to provide right of way required by the City streets and highways plan, to complete a street pattern already begun or to insure reasonable development of a number of adjoining parcels. Where there exists a platted half street abutting the tract to be subdivided, the remaining half shall usually be platted within the tract. (Prior Code, § 15-3-2) (Am. Ord. 12-1272, passed 12-10-2012)
