Davis: site conditions before grading work

For Yolo County projects, river-adjacent and agricultural properties need address-specific drainage and flood-map checks; foothill-edge parcels also warrant a grade survey.

In Yolo County, confirm city utility service or an approved individual system and protect recorded agricultural or utility easements during site layout.
