A.
A critical areas report shall be required for all proposed alterations of properties that are located within 200 feet of any geologically hazardous area. Requirements for critical areas reports for geologically hazardous areas are available from the city manager.
B.
In the event that the applicant’s geotechnical consultant and the City’s geotechnical reviewer cannot resolve the geotechnical issues and do not agree on required development conditions, the city manager may require a third-party review of the critical areas report. The applicant’s consultant and the City’s reviewer shall select a mutually agreed-upon qualified professional to provide the final opinion. The applicant shall fund this review and shall make substantive changes to the proposed alteration or provide additional analysis as directed by the third-party reviewer.
