further restricted or prohibited should the City
receive complaints from adjacent property owners. No
construction work shall be done on Sundays and City
observed holidays pursuant to Section 15.26.010 of the
Municipal Code.
Resolution No. PC- 2003 -446

report that discusses the contents of the soils as to the
presence or absence of any hazardous waste or other
contaminants in the soils. Note: Review of the
