The purposes of this chapter are to provide standards to protect property and to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by regulating and controlling grading, grubbing, stockpiling, soil erosion, sedimentation, and land disturbing development within the city. The public health, safety, and welfare require that environmental considerations contribute to the determination of these standards insofar as they relate to protecting against erosion and pollution.
