Background The applicants are redeveloping the subject property and constructing a new residence. Their grading plan involves the import of approximately 250 cubic yards of soil with a total site disturbance balance of approximately 815 cubic yards. Grading and filling activities in excess of 500 cubic yards require a CUP. The new home is proposed to have an upper, main garage, as well as a lower garage to accommodate their desired number of vehicles on site.
