Grading & Drainage Correction questions from Homeland customers
- How old is the ground being regraded on a typical Homeland parcel?
- Older than most of the surrounding region's stock. ACS 2020-2024 estimates for Homeland CDP put 1,121 of 2,623 housing units in the 1970 to 1979 period, with 163 from the 1960s and 67 from the 1950s. Margins of error at this geography are wide, plus or minus 466 on the 1970s figure, but the weight of the stock sits before 1980.
- Does regrading a yard in Homeland need a county permit?
- Usually. Riverside County Building and Safety states that a grading permit is required for all but a limited scope of earth-moving operations, and its list covers earthwork construction including fills and embankments, paving, and rough and precise grading. Volume decides who may draw it: below 200 cubic yards a designer without state licensing may prepare plans, and above 5,000 cubic yards the work is designated engineered grading.
- Can a regrade send more water out to the street?
- Only within what the street is designed to carry. Riverside County's plan check guidelines require the 10-year frequency storm to stay below the tops of curbs or dikes and the 100-year storm to stay within street right-of-way, and limit flow so that depth in feet times velocity in feet per second does not exceed six. Added frontage runoff is measured against those limits.
- The parcel next door is new and mine is not — why do they drain differently?
- They come from different building waves. ACS 2020-2024 records 444 Homeland units built between 2000 and 2009 and 306 built in 2020 or later, but an estimate of only one unit for the whole 2010 to 2019 decade, with a margin of error of 26. Neighbouring pads can therefore have been shaped under county road standards adopted decades apart.
