Where all or any part of a subdivision has an average cross slope in excess of 15%, or where in areas of lesser slope, standard requirements for streets and other improvements would be unduly harmful to unusual or unique features of landform, the Planning Commission may designate all or any part of such land as “hillside areas.” When a subdivision, or part thereof, is so designated, hillside improvement standards as are or may be established by the City Council may be applied or may be required by the Planning Commission.
