the project site.
Whenever a proposed development requires a development permit and a
geologic hazard is present on the site of the proposed development or
on abutting or adjacent sites within fifty feet (50') of the subject site,
geotechnical studies by licensed professionals, such as a geotechnical
engineer and/or engineering geologist, shall be required. Specifically,
geotechnical studies are required for developments proposed on sites
with any of the following geologically hazardous areas:
(a) Sensitive and protected slopes;
(b) Medium, high, or very high landslide hazards;
(c) High erosion hazards;
(d) High seismic hazards;
(e) Medium or high coal mine hazards.
The required studies shall address each geologic hazard and
demonstrate the following review criteria can be met:
(a) The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard
to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions;
and
(b) The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
(c) The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
