SEC. 91.7004. GRADING DESIGNATION.

(Amended by Ord. No. 171,939, Eff. 4/15/98.) Grading in designated hillside areas or in excess of 5,000 cubic yards (3825 m 3 ) of either cut or fill, or a combination thereof, shall be performed in accordance with the approved grading plan prepared by a civil engineer, and shall be designated as “engineered grading”. Grading involving less than 5,000 cubic yards (3825 m3) in a non hillside area shall be designated “regular grading” unless the permittee chooses to have the grading performed as engineered grading, or the Superintendent of Building determines that special conditions or unusual hazards exist, in which case grading shall conform to the requirements for engineered grading.
