Subdivision design shall be in general accord with the concepts of the General Plan, and as determined by the Commission. The following principles and standards shall be observed:

A. Street design should have the purpose of making adjacent lots, if for residential use, desirable for such use by cushioning the effect of heavy traffic and minimizing the interference with traffic on such streets.

B. The number of intersecting streets along major streets and collector streets should be held to a minimum. Wherever practicable, such intersections should be spaced not less than 1,000 feet on center.

C. Residential lots adjacent to a major or collector road normally will be required to be served by a residential street paralleling said major or collector road or by a series of cul-de-sacs or loop streets extending toward said major or collector road from a parallel street. Where such double frontage lots are created, improvements on such lots shall be oriented to and front upon the local street. A decorative concrete block wall, minimum height, five feet, or a comparable material approved by the Commission, shall be required at the top of slope adjacent to the major or collector road. Landscaping and permanent irrigation shall be provided in accordance with the standards specified in the Chula Vista landscape manual and the grading ordinance.

D. When the rear of any lot borders any major or collector road, the subdivider shall be required to execute a certificate on the title sheet, deemed sufficient by the City Attorney, prohibiting the right of ingress and egress from said major or collector road to said lot.

E. In the coastal zone, subdivision design shall be in conformity with the applicable provisions of the certified local coastal program and shall observe the principles and standards of subsections (A) through (D) of this section to the extent they do not conflict with the certified local coastal program.
