10.933 Constraints Analysis.
Prior to submitting a Type III land use application (except for zone changes), a Constraints Analysis identifying physical constraints and proposing mitigation measures shall be submitted. Within 10 days of receipt, the City Engineer or designee shall determine whether the constraints analysis is complete per this section. A complete Constraints Analysis is one that contains all items in Sections 10.933(1)(a)-(g) and 10.933(2)(a)-(d).
(1) Geology and Soils Report. A Geology and Soils Report shall be prepared by both an Oregon licensed geotechnical engineer, and either an Oregon-licensed geologist or engineering geologist. The geotechnical engineer shall focus on appropriate grading and foundation design; the geologist or engineering geologist shall focus on mitigation of geologic hazards. The report shall include:
(a) The purpose and scope of the investigation;
(b) A description of the geological characteristics of the site;
(c) A description of the nature, distribution, and strength of the existing soils on the site relative to their adequacy for the proposed development;
(d) A determination of the suitability of the geology and soils on the site for the proposed development;
(e) A determination of geological hazards that present a risk to life and property or adversely affect the use or stability of a public facility or utility;
(f) A determination of grading procedures needed to assure minimal disturbance to the natural state of the soils on the site;
(g) Conclusions and mitigation measures, if necessary.
(2) Hydrology and Grading Report. A Hydrology and Grading Report shall be prepared by an Oregon registered civil engineer and shall include:
(a) A description of the hydrological conditions of the site;
(b) A determination of the effect of the hydrologic conditions on the proposed development and adjoining lands;
(c) A determination of hydrological and erosion hazards that present a risk to life and property or adversely affect the use or stability of a public facility or utility; and,
(d) A grading plan as required by Sections 10.727 and 10.162(4), including proposed grades, and cuts and fills for streets.
