Land developments shall be planned to take advantage of the land formation and to utilize the natural contours in order to economize in the construction of drainage facilities, to reduce the amount of grading, to minimize destruction of trees and topsoil and, in addition, to create functional variations in the neighborhoods.
(a) Conformity to Development Plans and Zoning. The arrangement, character, width and location of all arterial and collector thoroughfares or extensions thereof shall conform with the City's Mapped Streets Plan. Thoroughfares not contained in the aforementioned Plan shall conform to the recommendation of the Planning Commission based upon the design standards set forth in City regulations and standards. In addition, no final plat of land within the City shall be approved unless it conforms with the City Zoning Code.
(b) Suitability of Land. If the Commission finds that land proposed to be subdivided, is unsuitable for subdivision development due to flooding, 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 subdivider for solving the problems that will be created by the development of the land.
