No land shall be subdivided which is found by the City Council to be unsuitable for reason of flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formation with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewer disposal capabilities or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision or the city. The City Council in applying the provisions of this section shall in writing cite the particular features upon which it bases its conclusions that the land is not suitable for the proposed use and afford the subdivider an opportunity to present evidence regarding such suitability at a public hearing. Therefore, the City Council may affirm, modify, or withdraw its determination of unsuitability.
