4. If the division of land constitutes urban development as defined by the Tuolumne county general plan and any portion of the site to be divided is located in unstable slope or landslide areas as delineated on the Tuolumne county general plan geotechnical interpretive maps or in areas where unstable slopes have been identified by a civil or geotechnical engineer licensed to practice in the State of California, but not mapped, a detailed engineering study must be submitted to the department of public works.
