(LDP) is required, a soils characteristic report will not be a required portion
of the LDP. After the site is graded the property owner must perform a soils
test for agricultural suitability including a soils analysis report and specific
amendment recommendations. Soil testing must be done following final
grading and before planting, as the surface soil in landscape areas may

Division will verify that the grading is in compliance with the approved plans
during site inspections.

21. Grading and Drainage: At the time of submittal for building plan check, the
applicant must submit grading and drainage plans illustrating:
• Existing grade of the subject and adjacent sites; and
• Existing drainage patterns for the subject and adjacent sites
22. When existing drainage flows from adjacent sites, then the subject site must
continue to accept cross lot drainage and may not be designed in such a
way as to drain toward adjacent sites. The subject site must not create any
barriers that prohibit existing drainage flows from adjacent sites. The
applicant must submit plans for building plan check demonstrating
compliance with this requirement and the Planning and Building Division
will verify compliance. In cases where compliance with this condition is
deemed not feasible by the City, the Community Development Director may
approve modifications to encourage as much onsite infiltration and
detention as feasible.
23. If the proposed finished grade will not alter existing cross lot drainage
patterns, the difference between the grade of the subject site and adjacent
sites must be within eight inches. If the proposed finished grade will alter
existing cross lot drainage patterns, the applicant must demonstrate how
the subject property will address existing cross lot drainage patterns.
24. Tree planting in the right-of-way: prior to building permits being finaled,
the applicant must install four Crape Myrtle Mildew Resistant
(Lagerstroemia indica) street trees in the public right-of-way along Longden
Avenue. The Planning staff will provide the species to be planted. The street
tree must be planted, staked, and irrigated per the City's street tree details,
which must be shown on the landscape plan. The contractor must call the
Urban Forestry staff at (626) 285-2171 to spot the location and inspect that
the tree was planted and staked correctly.

project.
26. The applicant/property owner must maintain the subject property free of
weeds, debris, trash, construction material(s), construction equipment, or
any other offensive, unhealthy and dangerous material until the project is
completed. If after five days' notice by certified mail, the applicant/property

owner does not comply with the before -mentioned criterion, the City may
either cancel the Tentative Map, Building Permits, etc. The City may enter
the subject property and remove all subject violations and bill the applicant
and/or put a lien on the subject property.
27. Certificate of Occupancy: Building permits may not be finaled and/or
Certificate of Occupancy issued until the project is fully completed to the

containing each page of these conditions of approval at the time of building
plan check submittal.

work on the site to 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and
