Such designs and construction shall be supported by proper tech- nical evidence. (II) Engineered design and earthquake-resistant con- struction according to the Uniform Building Code (1973 edition) and relating to the various seismic zones shall be an acceptable mitigation technique. (g) Radioactive areas Potential hazards may be removed by relocating mine wastes, mill tailings piles, and other radioactive sources. (h) Ground subsidence areas Under certain conditions careful engineering and geo- logic studies and corrective engineered construction may allow certain types of development to be carried out. (2) These mitigation techniques are meant to be minimum stand- ards and may be supplemented by more stringent requirements if warranted by local conditions. Article 3. Specific Geologic Hazard Areas in This Jurisdiction Subject to Regulation 3-301 All Areas Designated Or Regulated Must Be Listed All areas within this jurisdiction that are subject to regulation or designation under this chapter are listed and described in 3-303. Any and all property not so listed has not been designated or regu- lated under this chapter. 3-302 Designation or Regulation of Geologic Hazard Areas This body having considered the intensity of current and fore- seeable development pressures, applicable Guidelines for Identification and Designation adopted and issued by the Colorado Land Use Commission, and guidelines for land use in geologic hazard areas promulgated by -9-
