The geologic hazards ordinance codified in this chapter and geologic hazards maps represent only those hazardous areas known to the city, and should not be construed to include all possible potential hazard areas. The geologic hazards ordinance and the geologic hazards maps may be amended as new information becomes available pursuant to procedures set forth in chapter 13.07 of this title. The provisions of this chapter do not in any way assure or imply that areas outside its boundaries will be free from the possible adverse effects of geologic hazards. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the city, any officer or employee thereof for any damages from geologic hazards that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative requirement or decision lawfully made thereunder. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012; amd. Ord. 2021-26, 10-14-2021)
No change in use which results in the conversion of a building or structure from one not used for human occupancy to one that is so used shall be permitted unless the building or structure complies with the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012; amd. Ord. 2021-26, 10-14-2021)
In cases of conflict between the provisions of existing zoning classifications, building code, subdivision regulations, or any other ordinance of the city and the geologic hazards ordinance codified in this chapter, the most restrictive provision shall apply. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012; amd. Ord. 2021-26, 10-14-2021)
