§22-801.   Purpose.
   The specific purpose of these special provisions is:
   A.   To regulate the subdivision and/or development of flood-prone and/or mudslide-prone land areas in order to promote the general health, welfare, and safety of the community.
   B.   To require that each subdivision lot in flood-prone and/or mudslide-prone areas be provided with a safe building site with adequate access; and that public facilities which serve such uses be designed and installed to preclude flood end/or mudslide damage at the time of initial construction.
   C.   To protect individuals from buying land which is unsuitable for use because of flood and/or mudslide hazards by prohibiting the subdivision and/or development of unprotected flood-prone and/or mudslide-prone lands.
