Probably. Is this height because a section of the wall will be below grade for a portion? You might need the foundation engineered.

I would try talk to someone at Building & Development first. I don't think Roads will be of much help, as IMO they're the most clueless department there is. Avoid them like the plague.

You're going to need permits anyways, so get all your answers through the permit office. You may be best to sketch your situation and take some photos down to the counter and get them to give you their opinion in person.
