15.34.010 Establishment

Land Conservation Districts L-C are established to delineate those areas where substantial development of the land in the way of building or structures is not desirable because of:

  1. Special or unusual conditions of topography, drainage, floodplain or other natural conditions, whereby considerable damage to buildings or structures and possible loss of life may occur due to the processes of nature, and
  2. The lack of proper facilities or improvements resulting in the land not being suitable for development at the present time, and where such facilities or improvements must be undertaken on an area-wide rather than individual parcel basis in order to serve adequately at a reasonable cost to the City.
