Palm Desert Municipal Code Relating to Pad Height Certification.

CONTENTS: Ordinance
Exhibit "A"
Existing Municipal Code Section 27.12.190
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1061 amending Chapter
27.12.190 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code relating to pad height certification.
DISCUSSION:
In order to insure adherence to approved development and grading plans, Public Works
staff is requesting an amendment to an existing ordinance which requires that building
pad heights be certified prior to allowing inspections or approvals on a building's
foundation. Public Works staff has been requesting certifications for the top of a
building's foundation to insure that the building height will not exceed what has been
approved on the grading plan. In addition, requiring horizontal location certification will
establish the proper location of the building on the site. In order for staff to enforce
these two issues that are important to the building process, the existing ordinance must
be amended as shown in Exhibit "A."
