Partial copy: about 20 chapters (most zone and administration chapters, ch. 1-7, 8A-8C, 8E, 9A-9B, 10B, 12-15, 19-20) are scanned images on the city's site and are not included. Use the official code for those.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.

A. Geologic hazards study area maps. Appendix A of this chapter contains the geologic
hazards study area maps and other supplemental maps (the “Appendix A maps”) applicable to identified sensitive lands in the city. The Appendix A maps are prepared using the best available scientific information, but are necessarily generalized and designed only to indicate areas where hazards may exist and where geologic hazards studies are required. Because such maps are prepared at a non-site-specific scale, hazards may exist that are not shown on the maps. The fact that a site is not shown in a geologic hazards study area for a particular hazard does not exempt the applicant from considering the hazard if evidence is found that it may exist. It is the responsibility of the applicant to consider and identify all geologic hazards on the subject site. If it is subsequently determined that the site has geologic hazards or other features that are not shown on the Appendix A maps, the review process will be pursuant to this chapter.
B. Geologic hazards study area boundaries. Boundaries shown on the Appendix A maps will not be systematically adjusted as each individual site-specific study indicates whether or not an actual hazard exists. Geologic hazards study area maps and other supplemental maps are meant only to define areas within the city where scientific evidence indicates a hazard may exist. However, the Exhibit A maps may be updated and amended by the city if found to be inaccurate or erroneous, or as new methods or data are developed to better define areas of potential hazards.
C. Modification of geologic hazards study area and supplemental maps. Where geologic hazards study area maps are thought by an applicant to be inaccurate or erroneous and require revision, the applicant shall submit to the city technical evidence by a qualified professional supporting the claim and showing the proposed revision. The DRC will review the information and render a decision. The applicant may appeal that decision to the City Council.
