If the Planning Commission finds that land proposed to be subdivided is unsuitable for subdivision development due to flooding, bad drainage, topography, soil types, inadequate water supply, schools, transportation facilities and other such conditions which may endanger health, life or property; and, if from investigations conducted by the public agencies concerned, it is determined that in the best interest of the public the land should not be developed for the purpose proposed, the Commission shall not approve the land for subdivision unless adequate methods are advanced by the applicant for solving the problems that will be created by the development of the land. Specifically, within designated flood-plain areas, residential structures shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the level of the 100-year flood, as determined by the Flood Plain Manager. Nonresidential structures shall be flood proofed to the level of the 100-year flood.
