Property may not be developed if, in the opinion of the City, based on the written recommendation of the Director of Community Development, the land is unsuitable for the proposed use by reason of adverse topography, adverse soils, earth surface subsidence, high water table, periodic flooding, lack of water, or other natural or man-made hazards to life. However, the City may approve development of such land upon receipt of evidence from the developer's professional engineer’s justification acceptable to the Director of Public Works that the construction of specific improvements can be expected to render the land usable, in which case, construction upon such land shall be prohibited until the specified public improvements have been designed by the developer's professional engineer, approved by the City Engineer, and construction has been guaranteed.
