(B) If the finding of said investigation is that the site is subject to geologic hazard, but that corrective engineering and engineered construction can be accomplished to minimize significant hazard to public health and safety or to property due to such geo- logic hazard, approval of the final development plan shall be con- di tional and shall be cont:ingent on the issuance of a building permit as specified in Section 13-111 for corrective eingeering and engineered construction. (C) If the finding of said investigation is that the site cannot be developed for the structure/activity proposed due to geologic hazard, the final development plan or building permit shall be denied. Section 13-111. Corrective Engineering and Engineered Construction The following shall pertain to any construction project proposed in an identified or designated geologic hazard area (any undermined area) which requires corrective engineering and engineered construction to minimize significant hazard to public health and safety or to pro- perty due to geologic hazard. The certified site specific reports and plans required by this Section shall be prepared by each engineer and geologist as applicable to their area of sepcialty. (A) Certification and City approval or reports, designs and actual (as built) construction shall be required to ensure that: (1) Adequate base data, including engineering geology, hydrology and soils engineering have been provided, and (2) Said base data is utilized in the design and planning of the proposed project, and (3) Designs and construction procedures derived from said base data are executed, and (4) Designs and construction will minimize signifi- cant hazard to public health and safety or to property due to geologic hazard. (B) The following certified site specific reports and plans shall be submitted to, and approved by, the City Engineer or his authorized representative prior to the issuance of a building permit. (1) Engineering geology report including an adequate description of the site, conclu- sions regarding the effect of geologic conditions on the proposed project, and recommendations as to the design criteria for corrective measures when necessary. (2) Soils engineering report including an adequate description of the nature, dis- tribution and strength of existing soils of the site, conclusions regarding the effect of soil conditions on the proposed project, and recommendations as to design criteria for corrective measures when necessary. (3) Other reports and recommendations as necessary pertaining to hydrology, slope or other relevant factors to be filed as separate reports or included in the above noted reports. 5.
