(a) A grading permit shall not be issued in any case where it is found that the work proposed by the applicant is classed as hazardous grading, as determined by the City Engineer, and is liable to endanger any private property or result in the deposit of debris on any public way or interfere with any existing drainage course.
(b) If the land area for which grading is proposed is subject to geological or flood hazard to the extent that no reasonable amount of corrective work can eliminate or sufficiently reduce the hazard to human life or property, the grading permit and building permits for habitable structures shall be denied.
(c) If the proposed grading would not comply with the requirements of an applicable development permit or tentative tract map, or with any provisions of law, including the provisions of this chapter, a grading permit shall be denied.
