15.04.270 Permits – Application – Detailed plans and specifications required.
A. Detailed plans and specifications for land development shall include, but not be limited to:
1. Those requirements listed in the subdivision manual;
2. A vicinity sketch or other data adequately indicating the site location;
3. A plot plan showing the location of the land development boundaries, lot lines, and public and private rights-of-way lines;
4. A contour map showing the present contours of the land and the proposed contours or grid elevations. Contours will extend beyond the limits of grading at least 100 feet;
5. The location of any buildings or structures within the land development boundaries, and the location of any building or structure on adjacent property which is within 15 feet of the land development boundary;
6. Typical sections showing details concerning proposed cut and fill slopes;
7. Adequate plans of all drainage devices, walk or other protective devices to be constructed in connection with, or as a result of, the proposed work, together with a map showing the drainage area of land tributary to the site and the estimated runoff of the area served by any drainage facilities and devices;
8. An estimate of the quantity of excavation and fill involved, quantities relative to construction of appurtenant structures, estimate of cost and estimated starting and completion dates;
9. A landscape and irrigation plan indicating the total landscaped square footage, plant quantity, spacing, type and location and the layout of the irrigation system, and an estimate of cost of the landscaping and irrigation facilities;
10. A map, prepared by a biologist, as defined by CVMC 17.35.030, illustrating the proposed land development work relative to sensitive biological resources in compliance with the applicable habitat loss and incidental take permit issued pursuant to Chapter 17.35 CVMC;
11. An erosion control plan may be required by the City Engineer, or the Director of Development Services, or designee.
B. A soil investigation may be required to correlate surface and subsurface conditions with the proposed land development plan. The results of the investigation shall be presented in a soil report by a soil engineer which shall include, but not be limited to: location of faults; data regarding the nature, distribution, and strength of existing soil and rock on the site; the soil engineer’s conclusion; recommendations for grading requirements, including the correction of weak or unstable soil conditions and treatment of any expansive soil that may be present; and his opinion as to the adequacy of building sites to be developed by the proposed land development operations. The soil engineer shall provide an engineering geology report by an engineering geologist when required by the City Engineer. A seepage statement or a study is required as a part of all soil reports. Whenever blasting is to be performed or bedrock is to be exposed, a seepage study must be performed to determine method of handling excess water infiltration.
C. The City Engineer may require other data or information as he deems necessary. He may eliminate or modify any of these requirements where, in his opinion, they will serve no practical purpose. (Ord. 3544 § 1, 2023; Ord. 3005 § 1, 2005; Ord. 1877 § 2, 1979; Ord. 1797 § 1, 1978).
