Draft chapter 170: Subdivision Regulations
§ 170.14 Land Suitability
The 2026 draft's § 170.14; the current text of its chapter is not in the archive, so it cannot be compared.
Comparison with a draft: not adopted. The archive holds no public hearing, ordinance or vote adopting the recodified Code through the October 20, 2026 meeting packet. Until one is adopted, every page here compares the consolidated code with a draft that can still change: the revised draft with the October 6 changes is not in the archive.
A comparison with the August 2026 draft recodification prepared by Iowa Codification for the City. The draft has not been adopted and can still change; the current code (unofficial compilation) governs until a recodified Code is adopted. Matches between sections are made by machine from the texts and are reviewed where uncertain.

§ 170.14 Land Suitability
No land shall be subdivided that is found to be unsuitable for subdividing by reason of flooding, ponding, poor drainage, adverse soil conditions, adverse geological formations, unsatisfactory topography, or other conditions likely to be harmful to the public health, safety, or general welfare, unless such unsuitable conditions are corrected to the satisfaction of the City. If land is found to be unsuitable for subdivision for any of the reasons cited in this section, the Council shall state its reasons in writing and afford the subdivider an opportunity to present data regarding such unsuitability. Thereafter, the Council may reaffirm, modify, or withdraw its determination regarding such unsuitability.
