When application is made to any department or agency of the City for an entitlement to improve or develop any real property in an area of suspected soils instability, the City may require that the applicant submit a report of soil investigation prepared by a registered civil engineer specializing and recognized in soil mechanics and foundation engineering or a geologist whose qualifications are satisfactory to the City. If the report discloses adverse soils conditions, the City may require that as a condition to the issuance of an entitlement to improve or develop real property, there shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder a “notice of adverse soils conditions” in a form satisfactory to the City. (Ord. 89-1 § 2, 1989.)
