The City shall consider the physical characteristics of any proposed subdivision site and may disapprove a proposed plat or short plat because of flood, inundation, or wetland conditions. Construction of protective improvements may be required as a condition of approval, and such improvements shall be noted on the final plat.

No plat shall be approved for the subdivision of any land situated in a flood control zone as provided in Chapter 86.16 RCW without the prior written approval of the Department of Ecology of the state of Washington. [Ord. 591 § 7, 2015.]
