3. The final grading plan shall be in substantial
compliance with the conceptual grading plan submitted
at the tentative map stage. This determination shall
be made by the City Engineer. Minor changes may be
approved by the City Engineer, administratively, where
the elevations do not deviate by more than two feet
from the approved tentative map elevations, provided no
adverse situations are created relative to slope
stability, drainage, ero~~on, aesthetics or viewshed.
If it is deemed that the grading plan is not in
substantial compliance with the conceptual grading plan
approved at the tentative stage, the City Engineer
shall submit a report with recommendations to the City
Council. For those grading plans that do not conform
with the conceptual plan, a grading permit shall not be
issued without the prior approval of the City Council.
4. During Grading operations, changes may be authorized by
the City Engineer, where such changes result in an
nequal to" or "improved" grading plan, provided the
Director of Community Development concurs that the
change does not result in adverse impact over the
aesthetics or viewshed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the foregoing
policy.
