CHAPTER 2

GENERAL ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA

200 GENERAL

These general acceptability criteria apply to existing as

well as new construction.

201 REAL ESTATE ENTITY

The project site shall comprise a single plot, except

that two or more parcels separated by other parcels or a

street or streets may be acceptable provided the

resulting parcels comprise a readily marketable real

estate entity. In either case, the property shall be

sufficiently grouped to assure that convenient and

efficient management during operation can be expected.

202 SERVICES AND FACILITIES

202-1 TRESPASS

The property shall be so designed that it can be used and

maintained without trespass upon adjoining properties.

202-2 UTILITIES

Utilities and other facilities shall be independent for

the property, without dependence upon other properties.

203 SITE CONDITIONS

HAZARDS

The property shall be free of those hazards which may

adversely affect the health and safety of the occupants

or the structural soundness of the improvements or which

may impair the customary use and enjoyment of the

property. These hazards include toxic chemicals,

radioactive materials, other pollution, hazardous

activities, subsidence, flood, erosion, expansive or

compressible soils, inadequate drainage outfall,

landslides or mudflows, and deposition of suspended

solids or others located on or off site. Projects with

potentially significant hazards may be acceptable if any

such hazards are effectively mitigated.

formations, unstable soil, high groundwater level and

springs.

204 ACCESS
