Yucaipa Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-09-10 · Yucaipa

(a) For the efficient use of water, grading of a project site shall be designed to minimize soil erosion, runoff, and water waste. A grading plan shall be submitted as part of the Landscape Documentation Package. A comprehensive grading plan prepared by a civil engineer for other City permits satisfies this requirement.

  • (1) The project applicant shall submit a landscape grading plan that indicates finished configurations and elevations of the landscape area including:

  • (A) Height of graded slopes;

  • (B) Drainage patterns;

  • (C) Pad elevations;

  • (D) Finish grade; and

  • (E) Stormwater retention improvements, if applicable.

  • (2) To prevent excessive erosion and runoff, it is highly recommended that project applicants:

  • (A) Grade so that all irrigation and normal rainfall remains within property lines and does not drain onto nonpermeable hardscapes;

  • (B) Avoid disruption of natural drainage patterns and undisturbed soil; and

  • (C) Avoid soil compaction in landscape areas.

(3) The grading design plan shall contain the following statement: “I have complied with the criteria of the ordinance and applied them accordingly for the efficient use of water in the grading design plan” and shall bear the signature of a licensed professional as authorized by law. (Amended by Ord. 338 § 1, 2015; Ord. 293 § 3, 2009)
