Exhibit B <br />ORDINANCE Exhibit A - Page 30 of 66 <br />investigations of the site, site-specific measurements, tests, investigations, or studies, as <br />well as the methods of data analysis and calculations that support the results, <br />conclusions, and recommendations. <br />e A statement that the proposed project will not decrease slope stability or pose an <br />unreasonable threat to persons or property either on or off site and provide a rationale <br />for such conclusions based on geologic conditions and interpretations specific to the <br />project. <br />f. If a landslide or erosion hazard is identified, provide minimum setback <br />recommendations for avoiding the landslide or erosion hazard, recommendations on <br />stormwater management and vegetation management and plantings, other <br />recommendations for site development so that the frequency or magnitude of <br />landsliding or erosion on or off the site is not increased, and recommendations are <br />consistent with this article; For projects in seismic hazard areas, the report shall also <br />include a detailed engineering evaluation of expected ground displacements, amplified <br />seismic shaking, or other liquefaction and/or dynamic settlement effects and proposed <br />mitigation measures to ensure an acceptable level of risk for the proposed structure <br />type or other development facilities such as access roads and utilities; <br />g. The geological assessment shall contain a summary of any other information the <br />geologist identifies as relevant to the assessment and mitigation of geological hazards. <br />B. Geological Assessment Review <br />1. Geological assessments shall be submitted to the department for review and <br />approval as part of the integrated permit review process described in EMC Title 15, <br />Local Project Review Procedures. The department shall review the geological <br />assessment and either: <br />a. Accept the geological assessment; or <br />b. Reject the geological assessment and require revisions or additional <br />information. <br />2. When the geological assessment has been accepted, the department shall issue a <br />decision on the land use permit application as provided for in EMC Title 15, Local Project <br />Review Procedures. <br />3. A geological assessment for a specific site may be valid for a period of up to five <br />years when the proposed land use activity and site conditions affecting the site are <br />unchanged. However, if any surface and subsurface conditions associated with the site <br />change during that five-year period or if there is new information about a geological <br />hazard, the applicant may be required to submit an amendment to the geological <br />assessment. <br />19.37.230 GEOLOGICALLY HAZARDOUS AREAS – DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS <br />A.
