SDS 6.10.2 Applicablity.

This standard shall be applicable in R-2, RP-2, R-3, RP-3, RP-4, RP-5, and RP-6 zoning districts.

SDS 6.10.3 General.

The internal street system shall connect to the public street system to provide multiple direct connections to and between local destinations such as parks, schools, and shopping.

SDS 6.10.4 Interconnectivity. 

The internal street system shall connect to the perimeter public street system to provide for both intra- and inter-neighborhood connections to knit separate developments together, rather than forming barriers between them.  Accordingly, the internal street system shall provide vehicle connections, other than primary vehicle access, to each adjoining residential or collector streets.  Where possible, developments greater than five (5) acres shall include a minimum of one “through-street”.  The through-access street shall be continuous through the site, and connect to a perimeter public street.  The design of all through-access streets shall be consistent with, and aligned with, residential drives or through-access drives in adjacent existing or planned development sites.

SDS 6.10.5 Future Street Connections.

Dead-end streets shall not be permitted except in cases when the street is designed to connect with future streets on adjacent land.
