      (8)   Any natural features such as waterways, drainage area, significant vegetation or rock outcroppings;
      (9)   Approximate topography, particularly noting any area of steep slope.
   (C)   Approval criteria. The city shall approve a request for a property line adjustment if the following criteria are satisfied:

      (2)   All parcels meet the density requirements and dimensional standards of the base zoning district;
      (3)   Access, utilities, easements, and proposed future streets will not be adversely affected by the property line adjustment.
   (D)   Final approval. Three paper copies of the final map shall be submitted within one year of approval of the property line adjustment.
