(A) Lands subject to flooding and land deemed to be topographically unsuitable should not be subdivided for residential purposes, nor for such other uses as may increase danger to health, life or property, or aggravate erosion or flood hazards. The village belongs to the Federal Flood Insurance Program and has a map indicating flood prone areas. This map may be obtained from the Village Clerk.
(B) The Village Plan and Zoning Commission shall not approve the subdivision of land if upon adequate investigation conducted by the Commission it has been determined by the Commission that in the best interest of the public the site is not suitable for the subdivision and development of the kind proposed. In making this evaluation the Village Plan and Zoning Commission shall make reference to the applicable portions of the Village Comprehensive Plan, the Village Zoning Ordinance, the Champaign County Zoning Ordinance, the Champaign County Comprehensive Plan, and other general standards of the community. The Village Plan and Zoning Commission may further make reference to investigations of soil suitability or effects on sensitive habitats, the existence of wetlands, threatened or endangered species, or archaeological resources, historically significant structures and sites as determined by the proper authorities.
