No major subdivision shall be approved when found unsuitable for its intended use by reasons of flooding, inadequate drainage or any other reasons harmful to the health, safety and well-being of the future residents or property owners of the proposed development, or of the community at large.  The Planning Commission may approve a Major Subdivision of land if the applicant improves, or as provided in Article 6 of these regulations, agrees to improve the land consistent with the standards of this and other regulatory documents of the City of New Orleans in order to make lots, parcels and tracts of land suitable for their intended uses.
