The purpose of the RA District is to delineate those areas where substantial development of the land in the form of buildings or structures is prohibited due to:
A. 
Special or unusual conditions of topography, drainage, floodplain or other natural conditions, whereby considerable damage to buildings or structures and possible loss of life may occur due to the process of nature.
B. 
The lack of proper facilities or improvements resulting in the land not being suitable for development at the present time and where such facilities or improvements must be taken on an areawide rather than individual parcel basis in order to serve adequately the area at a reasonable cost to the City.
[Amended 10-21-2020 by L.L. No. 5-2020]
