(k) The contour and topographic conditions a follows: Where the land slope is greater than 15%, contours must be shown at five-foot intervals. Where the land slope is between 2% and 15%, contours must be shown at two-foot intervals. Where the land slope is less than 2%, contours must be shown at one-foot intervals. Elevations shall be based on sea level datum as determined by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
(l) The zoning classification - use, height and area requirements - and the minimum setback building lines.
