The city may disapprove a proposed subdivision because of flood, inundation or swamp condition if the city finds that such condition poses a threat to the public health, safety or general welfare or causes a public nuisance.

Where any portion of the proposed subdivision lies within the regulatory floodplain, the hearing examiner shall impose a condition on the preliminary plat requiring the subdivider to conform to the city’s floodplain development requirements as set forth in Chapter 15.68 ACC. In such cases, no development permit associated with the proposed subdivision shall be issued by the city until said flood hazard area regulations have been met.

The city may require dedication of land to any public body and/or the construction of improvements and may impose other conditions necessary to protect against flooding or inundation.
