§ 66-271. General arrangement and layout.

The public street system pattern proposed within any subdivision plat or development should be based upon the following design concepts:

(1)

Provide for adequate vehicular access to all properties within the subdivision plat boundaries.

(2)

Provide adequate street connections to adjacent properties to ensure adequate traffic circulation within the general area.

(3)

Provide a local street system serving properties to be developed for residential purposes which discourages through traffic while maintaining sufficient access and traffic movement for convenient circulation within the subdivision and access by firefighters, police, and other emergency services. This provision will usually require two or more accesses to the subdivision, depending on its size and other considerations such as topography.

(4)

Provide a sufficient number of continuous streets and major thoroughfares, particularly in those areas designed for the development of high-density multifamily residential, commercial, and industrial land uses, to accommodate traffic demands generated by these land uses.
