posed development or activity may be permitted in any
portion of such area, public health, safety and welfare
require that the extent of the hazard at the site of
the proposed development or activity must be determined.

No person shall engage in any development in any such geo-
logic hazard initial control area without a permit. Upon
receipt of an application for a permit, the administrator
shall recommend to the governing body that it cause a deter-
mination to be made as to whether the site for the proposed
development is located in a particular geologic hazard area.
(Such determination shall be made through a study by a
qualified professional geologist or engineer as specified in
Section 3-403(4) of these regulations.) The governing body
shall promptly take such action with respect to such recom-
mendation as may be appropriate and practical. Any appli-
cation for a permit to conduct a development in a geologic
hazard initial control area shall not be considered complete
or be accepted unless and until it is accompanied by the
results of any studies needed to determine whether the pro-
posed development is located in a particular geologic hazard
area.

The necessary studies referred to in subsection 3-202(3)
of these regulations may be financed by this jurisdiction,
the applicant for a permit, or otherwise.

Upon completion of the study of the area, the administrator
shall inform the applicant in writing whether the site of
his/her proposed development or activity lies within any of
the following:

(a) An avalanche area, in which case further processing of
the application shall be governed by section 3-403(1),
3-403 (2) (a), and 3-404, below.

(b) A landslide area, in which case further processing of
the application shall be governed by section 3-403(1),
3-403 (2) (b), and 3-404, below.

(c) A rockfall area, in which case further processing of
the application shall be governed by section 3-403(1),
3-403(2)(c), and 3-404, below.

(d) A mud flow area, in which case further processing of the
application shall be governed by section 3-403(1),
3-403 (2) (d), and 3-404, below.

(e) An unstable or potentially unstable slope area, in which
case further processing of the application shall be
governed by section 3-403 (1), 3-403 (2) (e), and 3-404,
below.
