Grading & Drainage Correction questions from Wildomar customers
- Does bad grading mean the same thing on an older Wildomar parcel as on a newer tract pad?
- They fail differently. ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates show 4,548 of Wildomar's 11,251 housing units built between 1970 and 1989 and 4,516 built in 2000 or later. Older parcels here often predate a mapped drainage system entirely, so grading has to create a route rather than restore one. Newer tract pads were graded to a plan, so correction usually means finding where that plan was defeated.
- Can I regrade so water leaves my Wildomar lot onto the neighbouring property?
- Not freely. Municipal Code 16.32.110 provides that when a land division substantially changes, concentrates or increases the natural flow of surface water onto adjacent property, facilities shall be required to direct the water to an adequate outlet, or the land divider shall obtain a recordable easement. The Master Drainage Plan applies the same logic, using pre-development runoff as the baseline that post-development flow may not exceed.
- My Wildomar street is almost flat — does that change what regrading can achieve?
- Wildomar's design standards allow street grades below one-half of one percent only when engineering design shows local drainage provisions are adequate, and the improvement standards call for concrete curb and gutter in place of asphalt-concrete dike when the street gradient is under that same figure. A near-flat frontage is a design condition the street was approved under, which shapes what a yard can drain into.
- Does raising the dirt along my Wildomar fence line create a code problem?
- The development code measures fence height as the vertical distance between the finished grade at the base of the fence and the top edge of the fence material, and states grade cannot be modified to increase fence height. Raising dirt along a property line to push water away therefore has a code consequence at the same time, which is worth checking before a swale becomes a berm.
