This division establishes the minimum acceptable standard for design and preparation of grading plans for approval by the City of Palmdale.
All grading must conform to the Los Angeles County Building Code as adopted and modified by the City of Palmdale and hereafter referred to as the City Grading Ordinance.
Submittals are also necessary to ensure that on-site drainage is adequately handled, that offsite drainage at ultimate development in accordance with the current general plan, is conveyed through the project; and that the proposed development grading plans are compatible with adjacent property topography.
This section of the manual specifies the requirements of grading plans for private developments. It includes items pertinent for the City's review and reflects established professional engineering practice for preparation of grading plans.

Unsealed plans will not be accepted for plan checking. Final (ready for approval) plans and reports will need to be signed by the Engineer prior to City Approval.
