§ 102-10. Conditions for nonissuance of permits.

Grading permits shall not be issued where:

A. 

The proposed work would cause hazards to the public safety and welfare.

B. 

The work as proposed by the applicant will damage any public or private property or interfere with any existing drainagecourse in such a manner as to cause damage to any adjacent property, result in the deposit of debris or sediment on any public way or into any waterway or create an unreasonable hazard to persons or property.

C. 

The land area for which grading is proposed is subject to geological hazard to the extent that no reasonable amount of corrective work can eliminate or sufficiently reduce settlement, slope instability or any other hazard to persons or property.

D. 

The land area for which the grading is proposed may lie within the floodplain of any stream or watercourse (not specifically designated and delineated by the City as an area subject to flood hazard) unless a hydrologic report, prepared by a professional engineer, is submitted to certify that the proposed grading will have, in his or her opinion, no detrimental influence on the public welfare or upon the total development of the watershed.
