A. Establishment of Slope. In order to determine which of the two methods to use to establish the
grade of the lot from which to measure structure height as provided in subsection (B) of this section, it
is first necessary to determine the slope of the lot as follows:
1. The slope of a lot shall be determined using a four-sided polygon that most closely
approximates the actual footprint of the proposed structure. The area of the four-sided polygon
shall not be smaller than the footprint of the proposed structure and shall be located entirely
within the buildable area of the lot (see Figure 3-2);
Figure 3-2
Area for Determining Slope
2. The slope of the polygon shall be determined using the highest and lowest elevation at any
of the four corners of the polygon and the distance between the respective corners;
3. If the location of the polygon selected by the applicant is not clearly representative of the
lot’s topography or representative of the prevailing slopes on adjoining lots because of retaining
structures or previous excavation/fill, the Director shall establish the appropriate area to be used
to determine the slope of the lot.
B. Establishment of Grade. The grade of a lot shall be established by one of the following methods
unless the Director establishes the grade in compliance with subsection (C) of this section
(Establishment of Grade by Director).

1. Subdivisions. If the City approves or has approved a grading plan in conjunction with an
approved subdivision, the established grade shall be the finished grade as shown on the grading
plan or final subdivision map.
2. Five Percent or Less Slope. On lots where the slope of the four-sided polygon is five percent
or less, the grade of the surface from which structure height is measured shall be a plane
established using the average of the elevations at each corner of the four-sided polygon.
Example: A + B + C + D = X; X/4 = Established grade elevation from which to measure structure
height.
3. More than Five Percent Slope.
a. On lots where the slope of the four-sided polygon is greater than five percent, the
established grade from which structure height is measured shall be a plane established by
determining the elevation of the lot at five evenly spaced points along each of the two side
property lines and connecting each of the points along a side property line with the
corresponding point on the opposite side property line.
b. The five evenly spaced points along each side property line shall be located so that one
point is located at the intersection of the front setback line with the side property line and
another point is located at the intersection of the rear setback line with the side property line.
The other three points along the side property line shall be located so that all five points are
equidistant from each other (see Figure 3-3).

Slope Greater than Five Percent
c. On lots that slope an average of twenty (20) percent or greater, or on irregularly shaped
or sloping lots, the Director may require that additional points of elevation be provided.
