North Highlands: grading scope and jurisdiction
North Highlands grading & site work planning starts with unincorporated North Highlands jurisdiction within Sacramento County. Within Sacramento County, part of the Sacramento Valley, city and unincorporated Sacramento County permits follow different review desks; confirm jurisdiction from the parcel rather than its mailing city. Confirm engineering and agency review for the actual earthwork; a level-looking lot is not a grading design.
North Highlands: site conditions before grading work
North Highlands owners should evaluate existing utility routes in housing areas near McClellan before fixing the construction footprint. For Sacramento County projects, check mapped flood constraints and drainage elevations before fixing a Sacramento Valley building pad; proximity to a river is not a parcel determination. Identify the disturbance boundary, pad elevation, drainage outlet and access route on the current site plan.
North Highlands: utilities, access and construction sequence
North Highlands construction planning should account for delivery access from Watt Avenue onto the selected residential street. In Sacramento County, locate the actual sewer lateral and water service, and verify capacity with the serving agencies rather than assuming a nearby main guarantees a connection. Separate clearing, excavation, fill placement, export and erosion controls in the written scope.
