§ 16.20.080. Soil investigations—When required for each lot in subdivision—Recommendation for corrective action.  


Latest version.
  • If the preliminary report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils, instability of slopes, or other soil problems which would lead to structural damage, a soil investigation of each lot in the subdivision shall be made by a civil engineer who is registered by the state of California. The soil investigation shall be made after grading, and a report shall be submitted recommending corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure proposed to be constructed in the subdivision. Copies of the report shall be filed with the Building Inspector and the Street Engineering Department. The information contained in the report of the soils investigation may be included in the certificate respecting the grading work.
