Lot Grading Requirements - Commercial

An As-built Plan (Lot Grading Certificate) is required for any property that has an approved Surface Drainage Plan (Lot Grading Plan).

The lot grading inspector could ask for a new or revised As-built Plan when any of the following occur:

  • There is incomplete information or errors on the Lot Grading Certificate such as: property information, lot shape, client information, design and existing elevations, unsigned or unstamped drawings, building layout, north directional arrow, easements, restrictive covenants or right-of-ways, structures on the lot, existing surface condition, existing elevations on adjacent properties, scale drawing information, reference to metric geodetic datum
  • Verification of existing elevations if existing elevations on the Lot Grading Certificate are not within tolerances
  • Discrepancies or errors in design and/or existing elevations that require confirmation
  • Red-line revisions to Lot Grading Plan that are not reflected on the Lot Grading Certificate
  • Incomplete information about structures, retaining walls, existing elevations within the terms and conditions or any easement agreement, utility right-of-way, and areas covered by a caveat or restrictive covenant
  • Poor or unclear Lot Grading Certificate

The Surface Drainage Bylaw provides complete information about lot grading requirements.
