analysis is necessary. If the soils engineering report indicates soil problems, a soils investigation of each lot in the
subdivision may be required.
The soils engineering report shall include data regarding the nature, distribution and strength of existing soils,
conclusions and recommendations for grading procedures and design criteria for corrective measures, when nec-
essary, and opinions and recommendations covering the adequacy of sites for development.
In potential noise problem areas identified in the General Plan Noise Element, specific site analysis by an
