New Policies on Illegal Grading

L.A. County Supervisors Pass Motion


Santa Clarita real estate development will be affected by the new L.A. County motion regarding illegal grading, which will increase the penalties for illegal grading. These penalties may include the seizure of equipment as well as monetary fines and stop work orders.

Quite often grading has been started in the Santa Clarita Valley before permits have been issued, with builders "begging for forgiveness" after making a mess of the landscape rather than going through proper channels. This new motion presented by Supervisor Antonovich and approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors yesterday will hopefully help to alleviate this problem.

Specifically mentioned in the motion were properties on Euclid Avenue in Val Verde, on Ranch Club Road in Lake Hughes and properties owned by Pardee Construction in their Fair Oaks Ranch development in Canyon Country.

Now that the motion has been approved, the Board of Supervisors will work to develop the new rules, sanctions, fines and penalties that will be put into place.
