SUBJECT: FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER
5A TO THE CODE REGARDING GRADING
REQUIREMENTS
SUMMARY
Introduce the First Reading of an Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach adding Chapter 5A to the
Code of the City of Seal Beach regarding Grading Requirements.
BACKGROUND:
On October 14, 2002, Staff presented the proposed Grading Ordinance for review by Council
during a study session. This ordinance will codify the procedures of the Engineering Division for
issuing grading permits on private property and is also necessary to satisfy part of the legal
authority requirements of the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit. The Engineering Division will address much of the detailed requirements of the permit in
the Department's Grading Manual and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Manual, which are
under review.
Additionally, a section was added in the Grading Ordinance to address increases in grade for
existing development. Changes that are proposed that are not necessitated by drainage
requirements must go before Planning Commission for approval under a minor plan review
process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the First Reading of an Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach adding Chapter 5A to the
Code of the City of Seal Beach regarding Grading Requirements.
