(1) All proposed developments will be reviewed for compliance with the adopted General Plan and the policies found therein. This is to ensure that the land use policy will provide strict development controls in areas with limited local services. For each proposed project, it will need to be determined whether there are adequate public facilities available and whether the project changes or exceeds the “acceptable levels of service” for such things as roadways, intersections, bridges, storm drainage facilities, water lines, water pressure, sewer lines, fire and EMT response times, etc.

(2) The design of developments and subdivisions shall preserve, insofar as it is possible, the natural terrain, natural drainage, existing topsoil, trees and vegetation. Land which is subject to hazardous conditions such as landslides, mud flows, rock falls, snow avalanches, ground subsidence, shallow water table, open quarries, floods, wetlands and polluted water supply shall not be subdivided until the hazards have been eliminated or evidence submitted that the said hazards will be eliminated or mitigated by the development and construction plans.
