§ 6.1031. Rezonings and use permits in Hillside Landform.

When reviewing the compatibility of rezoning and use permit applications in the Hillside Landform on land with slopes between fifteen (15) and twenty-five (25) percent that is not a severely constrained area, the following shall be considered:

A.

Grading and other site preparations are within the limits established by the Development Design Guidelines for Environmentally Sensitive Lands, and whether essential grading complements the natural land forms.

B.

Vehicular and pedestrian circulation conforms to the Development Design Guidelines for Environmentally Sensitive Lands, and is within the emergency standards acceptable for fire truck use.

C.

Views to development from viewpoints have been analyzed, and whether satisfactory methods will be used for revegetation, plant protection/salvage, minimization of cuts and fills, and blending of structures with the site in terms of building mass and color hue, value, and chroma (from the Munsell Book of Color).

D.

Human lives and property are protected from unstable slopes, flooding, and other safety hazards.

E.

The placement, grouping, scale, and shaping of structures complements the natural landscape.

F.

Large, graded bare areas are fully revegetated.
