§ 9.97.080. Additional materials that may be required.

In addition to the materials listed in Section 9.97.070, if deemed necessary by the City Manager or the Planning Commission to adequately review any proposed hillside development project, the City Manager may require submittal of any or all of the following materials:

(1)

Soils report. A soils engineering report which shall contain, but not be limited to, data regarding the nature, distribution and strengths of existing soils, conclusions and recommendations for grading procedure design criteria for any identified corrective measure, and opinions and recommendations covering the adequacy of sites to be developed, including evidence that adequate soil percolation exists to permit disposal of domestic sewage effluent. This investigation and report shall be performed by a professional soils engineer who is experienced in the practice of soil mechanics and who is registered with the State.

(2)

Geology report. A geology report which shall include, but not be limited to, the surface and subsurface geology of the site, degree of seismic hazard, conclusions and recommendations regarding the effect of geologic conditions on the proposed development, opinions and recommendations covering the adequacy of the sites to be developed, and design criteria to mitigate any identified geologic hazard. This investigation and report shall be completed by a professional geologist who is experienced in the practice of engineering geology and who is registered with the State.

(3)

Hydrology report. A hydrology report which shall include, but not be limited to, the hydrologic conditions of the site, possible flood inundation, downstream flood hazards, natural drainage courses, conclusions and recommendations regarding the effect of hydrologic conditions on the proposed development, opinions and recommendations covering the adequacy of the sites to be developed, and design criteria to mitigate any identified hydrologic hazard consistent with these regulations. This report shall account for all runoff and debris from tributary areas and shall provide consideration for each lot or dwelling unit site in a proposed development project. Runoff and debris amounts shall be computed using the County Flood Control District criteria. This investigation and report shall be completed by a registered civil engineer experienced in the science of hydrology and hydrologic investigation.

(4)

Landscape plan. A landscaping plan which shall accurately show the final disposition of all existing trees, as specified in Section 9.97.070(4), on the project site and the type and extent of proposed vegetation, including provisions for ongoing maintenance and irrigation thereof. Specific consideration should be given to vegetation on created slopes, to ensure slope stability, and to ongoing maintenance. This plan shall be drawn to the same scale as prescribed for the application materials required in Section 9.97.070. Once the plan is approved, no trees shall be removed from the site without subsequent approval of the City.

(5)

Model. A three-dimensional scale model of the project site, to such scale as may be prescribed by the City Manager.
