A. The hillside subdivision regulations are intended to guide parceling of hillside land in a manner which results in harmony between human development activities and the natural environment. To meet that end, the ordinance relies heavily upon the land use policies contained within the City's General Plan. A portion of the hillside subdivision regulations are discretionary in nature due to the wide variation in the natural setting of the hillside areas within the community. The hillside development philosophy of the General Plan will therefore aid the Planning Commission and City Council in their review of hillside subdivision proposals.
B. The hillside subdivision regulations pertain to the parceling of land. The Grading Ordinance, Tree Removal Ordinance, Residential Hillside Zoning Ordinance and other general and specific community ordinances also play a role in the regulation of hillside development.
