1. Whenever development or construction is or may be subject to geologic or flood hazards, the planning commission may require the applicant to submit a geologic and soils survey report prepared by a qualified professional team. When such report indicates a lot to be subject to unusual potential or actual geologic or flood hazards, the applicant shall meet the special conditions required by the planning commission to reduce or eliminate such hazard, or if such conditions cannot be met or will not be met, the application for a building permit shall be denied. (Note: Even if a building permit for building in a geologic or flood hazard area is granted, final responsibility rests solely with the property owner, and not with the city.)

2. It shall be the responsibility of the individual property owner to retain and be responsible for any runoff water generated on his property. It must not be allowed to run into a city street (where gutters are installed) or sidewalk, or to cause any damage to another's property or that belonging to the city. (Ord. 111 §1, amended, 1985; Prior code §12-101-35)
