Upon input from the City Engineer, the Zoning Administrator, or his/her designee, shall review subdivision proposals and other proposed new development to determine whether such proposals will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a subdivision proposal or other proposed new development is in a flood prone area, any such proposal shall be reviewed to assure that:
(A) All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage within the flood prone area;
(B) All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage;
(C) Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure of flood hazard; and
(D) Subdivision of lands within flood prone areas may not be approved if the cost of providing governmental services would impose an unrealistic economic burden on the City of Lonsdale.
