The project involves the update of the City of Calabasas Grading Ordinance.  The grading ordinance is currently found in the Municipal Code under Title 17-Development Code.  As part of the update, the grading ordinance would be moved to Title 15 - Building and Construction Code.  The grading ordinance regulates grading within the City, and establishes standards for grading, including filling and excavation activities.  The grading ordinance update includes changes to strengthen and clarify text, and eliminate “loopholes” and ambiguity.  The proposed changes would also make the code conform to the Los Angeles County Building Code.
