87.1165 Grading.

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

(a) The following standards complement those contained in the Grading Manual and define basic grading techniques which are consistent with adopted ordinances and which avoid unnecessary cut and fill. Limitations on project grading amounts and configurations will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

(1) No finished slopes greater than 2:1 may be created except beneath a structure where the maximum created slope is limited to 1-1/2:1 or less.

(2) Grading shall be phased so that prompt revegetation or construction will control erosion. Where possible, only those areas which will be built on, resurfaced, or landscaped shall be disturbed.
