§ 12-76 — General suitability

Sec. 12-76. - General suitability.

(a) The planning commission may reject a subdivision if it has been determined that the proposed subdivision is not in keeping with the general character of the development in the area, and that, in the best interest of the public, the site is not suitable for the proposed development purposes. (b) Where deed restrictions or covenants are proposed, they shall be included with the plat and made a part of such plat; provided, however, that such deed restrictions or covenants shall not contain reversionary clauses wherein any lot shall return to the subdivider because of a violation thereon of the terms of the restrictions or covenants. (c) Land which is shown as within the flood control district on the official zoning district map shall not be platted for residential or any other use which may result in danger to health, life or property or increased flood heights unless the subdivider submits to the planning commission that the area can be protected from inundation by fill, levee or other means, without undue interference either with the flow of any watercourse or with any necessary impounding basin, which evidence shall be verified by the city engineer. The elevation and extent of flooding in each drainage area shall be established by the city engineer and shall be indicated on both the preliminary and final plats.
