No principal use shall be established, no main structure shall be erected or constructed and no subdivision be approved in the R-OS district, nor shall any building or other permit be issued therefor, unless and until the applicant has complied with the following development standards, which standards shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other development criteria and requirements set forth in Chapters 14 and 16 of this Code:

(a)

Site development plan. A site development plan has been prepared and approved by the advisory agency in accord with Section 14-25.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance, and the physical location of each use and structure is as set forth on such approved plan. In addition to the regulations set forth in Section 14-25.100, the site development plan shall incorporate the following design objectives:

(1)

All roads, buildings and other structural improvements or land coverage shall be located, sited and designed to fit the natural topography and shall minimize grading and modification of existing land forms and natural characteristics.

(2)

The planting and landscaping portion of said plan shall, insofar as is reasonably practical, provide for the retention of existing vegetation and shall include an erosion and sediment control element setting forth reasonable mitigation measures in accord with the excavating and grading and subdivision regulations of the City.

(3)

Grading shall be representative of adjacent topography and be an extension of natural contours insofar as reasonably practical, and shall be designed to avoid or fully mitigate potential erosion, flooding, geotechnical and other hazards.

(4)

Water, sewer and other utility services, streets and other access routes shall be designed to avoid any geologic or soils hazard and shall be specifically engineered to prevent the risk of failure or collapse. Setbacks from hazard areas shall be in accord with the engineering geologic and geotechnical engineering investigation report and recommendations.

(b)

Engineering Geologic and Geotechnical Engineering reports. A preliminary engineering geologic and geotechnical engineering investigation(s) and report(s) prepared by a certified engineering geologist licensed by the State and by a registered geotechnical engineer or civil engineer qualified in soils mechanics licensed by the State, shall be filed in conjunction with the site development plan unless the City Engineer and Geotechnical Consultant determine that existing information pertinent to the subdivision or site approval makes preliminary analysis or any part thereof unnecessary. The geologic and geotechnical reports shall fully and clearly include:

(1)

A description and discussion of engineering geologic conditions at the site, including natural and artificial earth materials, structural lineations or discontinuities, surface and ground water conditions, and all other pertinent conditions or characteristics of the site, with reference to surface conditions and exposures, geomorphology, and graphical logs of subsurface excavations.

(2)

An engineering geologic map of the site on a suitable topographic base, showing, as a minimum: the distributions of geologic materials on the site based upon mapping of geomorphic conditions and geologic exposures on and around the site; geologic features and potential hazards; and the locations of all existing and intended improvements on the site.

(3)

An evaluation of all geologic hazards and geotechnical constraints that affect, or potentially could affect, the site relative to the existing or intended land use. This should include a clear statement as to whether a hazard exists at the site which may lead to structural damage if not corrected, an evaluation of the risk(s) each hazard poses, and the basis or reasoning for assigning specific risks.

(4)

A geotechnical (soil and foundation) engineering investigation addressing properties of earth materials, site preparation (clearing and stripping), grading requirements (cut and fill design and construction), pavement design, drainage (surface and subsurface), utility trench backfilling, design parameters for foundations, retaining walls and swimming pools, slope stability, technical plan review, and field inspection procedures.

(5)

Recommendations for appropriate grading procedures, geotechnical design criteria and any corrective measures deemed necessary to prevent or significantly mitigate potential damage to the proposed project and to eliminate potential damage to adjacent properties and to otherwise insure safe development of the property.

(6)

Recommendations for additional investigations that should be made to insure safe development of the property.

(c)

Application acceptance. An application shall not be deemed complete until the City Engineer grants geotechnical clearance.

(d)

Additional studies required. The City shall also require the following additional studies prior to approval of a site development plan or as deemed necessary by the City Engineer, unless the City Engineer and the City Geotechnical Consultant determines that existing information pertinent to the subdivision or the site approval provides the same data as would have been obtained from any or all of such additional studies:

(1)

With respect to any terrain that may be susceptible to impacts from existing or potential instability, an investigation by a certified engineering geologist shall be required for all slopes affecting future or existing development. This investigation shall include a detailed evaluation of the natural slope conditions and recommendations for the treatment or correction of any potentially unstable slopes. Slope stability studies may require extensive subsurface exploration and analysis.

(2)

A slope stability analysis showing the proposed building footprint(s) and immediately surrounding areas having an adequate factor of safety of at least 1.5 under static conditions against failure in the event of the maximum expected earthquake on recognized faults, including but not necessarily limited to the San Andreas, the Berrocal, the Monta Vista/Shannon or the Sargent faults.

(3)

With respect to any area in the State's Special Studies zones or within two hundred feet of a mapped or otherwise recognized trace of a potentially active earthquake fault, an investigation by a certified engineering geologist addressing the seismic hazards related to the nearby trace, with particular emphasis on evaluation of possible surface faulting and characterization of seismic ground motion. Investigative techniques may require geologic and geomorphic mapping and analysis, subsurface exploration, and possibly geophysical traverses to demonstrate that no fault exists within fifty feet of a structure for human habitation. If deemed necessary by the City Geotechnical Consultant, an area greater than two hundred feet from a possible fault trace may be subject to the same investigative requirements and an increased setback of structures for human habitation from faults, may be required.

(e)

Inspection reports. The results and recommendations of the engineering geologic and geotechnical engineering investigations referred to in subsections (b) and (d) of this Section shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and the City Geotechnical consultant and shall become conditions of approval of a development proposal. The Geotechnical Engineer and the Engineering Geologist may be required to submit reports during grading, during construction, and following completion of the project. The final report(s) shall affirm that the grading and foundation excavations were done under the supervision of an appropriate registered Geotechnical Engineer and/or Engineering Geologist, shall describe the as-built conditions of the project, and shall contain such other information as may be required by the City Engineer and City Geotechnical Consultant.

(f)

Financial assurances. The applicant shall post security deposit or a bond of an amount determined by the City Engineer as one measure to ensure the completion of all geological and geotechnical reports and corrective work required as part of conditions of the project approval.

(g)
