§ 865. Uninhabitable areas.


Latest version.
  • Lands subject to flooding, or otherwise deemed uninhabitable in their natural state by the Commission, shall not be platted for residential use, or any other use that might create a danger to health, safety, or property, or which might increase the flood hazard within or outside the subdivision. Such lands shall be set aside for recreational use or shall be retained in their natural state as open space; provided however, that such lands may be platted and developed if the features making the lands uninhabitable can reasonably be removed without destruction of adjacent property or desirable natural features of the land and approval is obtained from the City Council. In all platting adjacent to such areas, adequate provisions for access to said areas, as determined by the Director, shall be provided.
