(A) It is the purpose of the Conservancy District to protect the natural resources of the city by application of special regulations for the use of land which may be subject to periodic inundation at predictable intervals, which may be subject to soil erosion, or which may be particularly suited to provide for the impoundment of waters for the purpose of stormwater control or groundwater recharge. Regulations, while permitting reasonable economic use of such land, will help to protect the public health, public safety and general welfare, and will reduce the financial burdens imposed upon the community which may result from the improper use of land. All lands included in the district shall be subject to the terms imposed in this article addition to the terms imposed by any other district in which such lands may be located.
(B) Areas having excessively high water table or valuable impoundment potential shall be determined by the City Council upon the advice of an engineer or any other professional retained by the city who is competent in the field of water resources or hydrology.
