Table 13. Horizon West Block Length and Depth Standards.
Notes: 1. Primary block length adjacent to a functionally classified street cannot be less than six hundred (600) feet right-of-way to right-of-way where the block edges are formed by streets; however, where a block edge is defined by an approved pedestrian passageway the primary block face may be less than six hundred (600) feet. 2. Primary block faces that are more than six hundred (600) feet in length shall include a mid block pedestrian passageway at either: the mid-point of the primary block face; a point approximating the 600-foot dimension of the block face; or, at a location approved as part of the PD/UNP or PSP. 3. See section 38-1390.33(b)(2) for limitations related to blocks with a primary block face of less than two hundred fifty (250) feet. 4. Right-in and right-out driveways shall not constitute a block for the purpose of determining compliance with minimum or maximum block length standards. A block length that is between ninety-five (95) percent and one hundred five (105) percent of the standard block length shall be considered in compliance with the block length standard, and shall not require an amendment or waiver.

Also housed in the Horizon West Town Center Planned Development section of the Land Development Code are standards related to street network connectivity for the planned development. Sec. 38- 1390.40. describes “Framework Street Standards” which are meant to form an interconnected network of streets that provide multimodal access to an array of properties. These standards also place requirements on street parking, bicycle lanes, cross-sections, vehicular intersections, traffic signals, utilities, curbs, gutters, streetlights, driveway access, bulb-out planting areas, cul-de-sacs, and transit stations, stops and pull-out bays within the right-of-way. Detailed Framework Street cross-sections comprised of many elements are depicted and described in Sec. 38-1390.41 of the code.
