MEMORANDUM
July 6 , 1982
TO: COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY MANAGER
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
RE : ORDINANCE ADOPTING NEWLY-ENACTED COUNTY OF
ALAMEDA WATERCOURSE PROTECTION AND GRADING
ORDINANCES.
During the time that I was reviewing the Alameda
County ordinances for adoption by the City, the County
was preparing two new ordinances . which were not available for
for review when we continued certain of the Alameda
County ordinances in effect.
Alameda County Ordinance No. 82-17 adds Chapter
9 to Title 7 of the County Ordinances and provides
for the regulation of grading. The purpose of the
ordinance is as follows :
Purpose: This Chapter is enacted for
the purpose of regulating grading on private
property within the unincorporated area of
Alameda County to safefuard life, limb, health,
property and public welfare; to avoid pollution
of watercourses with nutrients, sediments,
or other earthen materials generated on or
caused by surface runoff on or across the
permit area; and to ensure that the intended
use of a graded site is consistent with the
Alameda County General Plan, any Specific
Plans adopted thereto and applicable Alameda
County Ordinances including the Zoning
Ordinance.
Chapter 9 provides for a permit procedure, permit
fees, inspection, plan review and, in certain cases,
soils reports . Permits are obtained from the Alameda
County Director of Public Works, and the Chapter is
administered by the Alameda County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District.
Alameda County Ordinance No. 82-18 adds Chapter 10
to Title 7 and provides for the protection of watercourses.
It is a companion ordinance to the grading ordinance, and
its purpose is as follows :

Purpose: This Chapter is enacted to
safeguard and preserve watercourses, protect
lives and property, prevent damage due to
flooding, protect drainage facilities, control
erosion and sedimentation, restrict discharge
of polluted materials and enhance recreational
and beneficial uses and watercourses.
Chapter 19 provides for a permit anytime that
there will be a development within certain setbacks from
a watercourse. A watercourse is defined as almost any
natural or man-made channel or structure capable of
holding water.
I have reviewed both ordinances and find that they
would accomplish necessary protection from development
excesses . Given the fact that Dublin will experience
much development in the future, I recommend adoption of
the attached Dublin Ordinance.
