A. Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces any part of a street designated in the adopted street classification system, such street shall be platted in conformance therewith.

B. Street layout shall provide for the continuation or discontinuation 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 Council, the street arrangement should recognize the functionality of the 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. Public and private streets should be designed to minimize cut through traffic in residential areas.

F. Local streets should be discontinuous and generally should be interrupted with jogs and offsets. Four-way intersections should be avoided.

G. Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial route, the Department may require frontage roads or reverse frontage with non-access easements along the arterial route, 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 arterial route.

H. Where a subdivision abuts or contains the right-of-way of a railroad, a limited access highway, or an irrigation canal, or abuts a commercial or industrial land use, the Department may recommend 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.

I. 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.

J. Alleys shall not be required in residential, commercial, or industrial subdivisions, except that alleys shall be required in all subdivisions where:

K. Local streets should be extended to provide access between adjoining neighborhoods at appropriate intervals. Half streets at subdivision boundaries should be discouraged except where necessary for continuation of existing patterns. Where there exists a platted half street abutting the tract to be subdivided, and said half street furnishes the sole access to residential lots, the remaining half shall be platted within the tract.
