TRANSIT ZONING CODE :Street Network Concepts Subdivision Guidelines: Blocks and Street Guidelines A. Purpose 1. This chapter establishes guidelines for maintaining and adding to Santa Ana's walkable block and street network. The procedure for subdividing land is intended to provide for the urban infrastructure of small and walkable blocks, ® Q and an interconnected and human-scaled network of streets punctuated by Min Max Min Max open space of varying types. In addition, this chapter allows for the three- Orthogonal: Square or dimensional parcelization ofbuildings in response to ownership patterns.
