INTRODUCTION
This Subdivision Manual has been prepared to assist subdividers, developers,
Civil engineers and land surveyors in the processing of subdivisions and
parcel maps in the City of Chula Vista. It is subordinate to the City's
Subdivision Ordinance and the Subdivision Map Act. This manual fulfills
certain requirements of those documents by providing detail necessary not only
for the processing of subdivision maps but for the design of required public
improvements and private street standards related to development.
This Subdivision Manual is a guide. It provides guidance both for processing
subdivision documents and for preparing those documents. There has been no
attempt to anticipate all possible situations that may arise during the
subdivision development process. Therefore, the standards and criteria
developed within this manual will not address every situation. It is
anticipated that the Chula Vista standards and design criteria will apply in
the majority of cases.
SECTION I - GENERAL INFORMATION
I. DEFINITIONS
The definitions listed in this section are in addition to those listed in
the Subdivision Map Act and the Subdivision Ordinance.
A. Legal Lot: Is a parcel established or set forth by one of the
following means:
1. A deed describing the property recorded prior to March 4, 1972.
2. A recorded subdivision map or parcel map.
3. Either of the above means combined with a City approved and
recorded boundary adjustment plat.
*NOTE: A parcel is not necessarily a legal parcel just because there
is an Assessor's parcel number assigned to it.
B. Preliminary Plat: This plat is an informal sketch submitted to the
Planning Department for their advice regarding City requirements,
constraints on development, recommendations for development and for
the most expedient and efficient method of processing the subsequent
map.
C. Tentative Map: The tentative subdivision or parcel map is an
official submittal depicting the overall development contemplated.
Upon approval by the City, the tentative subdivision (parcel) map
constitutes an agreement between the developer and the City.
D. Final Map: Is a map that delineates the boundary of the subdivision
by bea~ing and distances; indicates the procedure of survey; and
establishes the boundary of each lot within the subdivision.
II. Controlling Documents
A. Subdivision Map Act: The current Subdivision Map Act takes
precedence over all other documents and ordinances relative to the
subdivision of land.
B. Subdivision Ordinance: The City of Chula Vista Subdivision ordinance
· expands, delineates and regulates those items that the Subdivision
Map Act allows the local jurisdiction to regulate.
c. Grading Ordinance: The grading ordinance number 1797 as amended by
ordinance 1877 and this manual shall govern grading and plan
preparation of grading plan.

SECTION II - PARCEL MAPS
I. GENERAL:
A parcel map procedure is used to create a division or consolidation of
land under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the Subdivision
Ordinance. Both a tentative parcel map and final parcel map are required,
however, under some circumstances, the requirements for a tentative parcel
map may be waived by the Director of Planning and the City Engineer, who
have joint responsibility for the processing and approval of tentative
parcel maps. A tentative map shows existing topography, boundaries and
improvements plus any proposed changes. An example of when the
requirement to submit a tentative parcel map might be waived would be when
all public improvements have already been installed, no grading is.
proposed, and the only changes proposed are changes to lot line or
boundaries. The City Engineer shall determine if a tentative parcel map
will be waived. If waived, a letter from the City Engineer placing
conditions on the subdivision will be sent the subdivider in the same
manner as if conditionally approving a tentative parcel map.
A. Lots. All lots created or divided by parcel maps shall conform to
City standards and no existing building or structure shall be made
non-conforming with respect to yard or other zoning requirements by
the process.

rendered impractical by the creation of a parcel on any parcel map.
C. Improvements. The design and construction of required improvements
shall conform to the criteria and standards contained in this manual
and dictated by local ordinance.
D. Improvement Agreement/Security Instruments. A parcel map improvement
agreement similar to a subdivision improvement agreement per Section
18.16.090 of the City Code may be required for improvements in
conjunction with parcel maps. Said agreements, along with security
instruments, shall be fully executed prior to recordation of parcel
map.

SECTION III- SUBDIVISIONS
I. PRELIMINARY PLAT.
The subdivider may submit a preliminary subdivision plat depicting his
concept for development of a specific piece of property. This plat is an
informal sketch submitted to the Planning Department for their advice
regarding City requirements, constraints on development, recommendations
for development and for the most expedient and efficient method of
processing the subsequent map. The preliminary plat should indicate:
1. Location of site.
2. Number, size, and design of lots.
3. Location and width of streets.
4. Location, purpose, and width of existing and proposed easements.
5. Nature and extent of proposed grading.
6. Environmental impact analysis.
7. Other data which might affect proposed development.
II. TENTATIVE MAPS:
A. General. Figures 6 and 7 are respectively samples of a tentative
subdivision map and a check list. The following information
amplifies the information contained in those figures.
B. Purpose and Concept of Tentative Map. The tentative subdivision map
is made for the purpose of depicting the overall development
contemplated. While not precise in detail, such as pavement
structural section, it is specific in those items which can be
predetermined such as street dimensions and right of way. Upon
approval by the City, the tentative subdivision map constitutes an
agreement between the developer and the City relative to approximate
subdivision design to include its grading, zoning, and public
improvements. All subsequent work by the developer and his engineer
is based on understanding reached at tentative map stage. Obviously
the tentative map should be as complete and specific as reasonably
possible.
The tentative map is filed with the Planning Department and reviewed
by both the Planning Commission and the City Council. The Commission
acts in the capacity of an advisory body to the Council.
-20-
C. Filing Tentative Map. A minimum of 28 blue line copies and a
reproducible copy of the tentative map shall be filed with the
Director of Planning. Filing shall be accompanied by necessary fees,
two copies of preliminary title report, a preliminary soils report
and any other data necessary to clarify the submission.
D. Size and Scale. The map shall be clearly and legibly reproduced in a
minimum size of eighteen inches by twenty-six inches (18" x 26"} at a
scale of not less than one inch equals one hundred feet (l" = lO0').
E. Data to be shown on Map.
1. All subdivisions in Chula Vista will be assigned a tract
designation by the Planning Department upon filing a tentative
map. Tract designations will be used in addition to subdivision
names and will be shown on all tentative maps, final maps,

~29-
3. Procedure of Survey & Index Sheet:
a. Figure l0 is a sample of the Procedure of Survey and Index
Sheet for a Final Subdivision Map. This sheet will
normal ly contain:
{1) A vicinity map with north arrow and scale indicated.
(2) Procedure of Survey Map (Scale: l" = 200') or a
Procedure of Survey and Index Map {Scale: l" ~ 200'}.
An index of sheets may be shown by using symbols shown
in legend or by using symbols in conjunction with
dotted lines representing sheet coverage.
{3} Legend.
(4) Basis of bearings.
(5} Civil engineer or land surveyor's certificate.
(6) Any other certificate which could not fit on Sheet l,
the Title Sheet.
b. The subdivision boundary shall be tied to the Lambert
Projection, California Coordinate System, Zone VI. This
shall be accomplished by tying the subdivision boundary to
a minimum of two established horizontal control monuments
on file in the office of the City Engineer. The adjoining
corners of all adjoining subdivisions shall be identified
by lot and block numbers, subdivision name and place of
record or other proper designation.
c. In some cases (for a small subdivision containing only a
few lots) the final map may require only two sheets in
which case the procedure of survey may be included on the
map sheet and the index map would not be necessary.
4. Map Sheets.
a. Scale. The scale of the map sheets shall be sufficient to
~ll details clearly and in no case shall be less than
one inch {l"} equals one hundred feet (100'). Enough
sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The scale
both in words or figures and graphically shall be shown on
each map sheet.
b. A north arrow shall be shown on each map sheet.
-30-
c. ~ An accurate and complete boundary survey shall
f the land to be subdivided. A traverse of the
exterior boundaries of the tract, and of each block, when
computed from field measurements on the ground, must close
within a limit of one part in ten thousand {l:lO,O00} feet
of perimeter. The boundary of the subdivision shall be
indicated on the final map by a colored dashed boundary
line approximately one-sixteenth {1/16} of an inch wide.
All lines shown on the map which do not constitute a part
of the subdivision, and any area enclosed by such line
shall be labeled "not a part of this subdivision." All
such lines shall be dashed.
d. All reference data adjacent {or in the near vicinity) such
as section corners, blocks, lot lines, recorded maps, etc.
shall be shown.
e. Dimensions, Bearings and Curve Data. The final map shall
show all survey and mathematical information and data
necessary to locate all monuments and to locate and retrace
any and all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing
thereon, including bearings, basis of bearings, and
distances of straight lines, and radii and arc lengths for
all curves, and such information as may be necessary to
determine the location of the centers of curves.
f. Lots and Blocks. All lots and blocks and all parcels
offered for dedication for any purpose shall be
particularly delineated and designated with all dimensions,
boundaries, and courses clearly shown and defined in every
case. Parcels offered for dedication other than for
streets or easements shall be designated by number.
Sufficient linear, angular and curve data shall be shown to
determine readily the bearing and length of the boundary
lines of every block, lot and parcel which is a part
thereof. Sheets shall be so arranged that no lot is split
between two or more sheets and wherever practicable, blocks
in their entirety shall be shown on one {1} sheet. No
ditto marks shall be used for lot dimensions. Lot numbers
shall begin with the numeral "l" and continue consecutively
throughout the tract, with no omissions or duplications.
In adjacent units of subdivisions of less than lO0 lots per
unit bearing the same name and developed' by the same
subdivider, lots. shall be numbered consecutively throughout
all units. Setback lines will be shown. Open space lots
shall be lettered "A", "B", "C", etc. within each unit.
g. Streets. The map shall show the right of way lines of each
~being dedicated and widths of any existing
dedications. The widths and locations of adjacent streets
and other public properties within fifty {50) feet of the
subdivision shall be shown. If any street in the
subdivision is a continuation or approximately a
-31-
continuation of an existing street, the conformity or the
amount of non-conformity of such street to such existing
street shall be accurately shown. Whenever the center line
of a street has been established or recorded, the date
shall be shown on the final map.
In cases where access rights relinquishment is requested,
or necessary, that portion adjacent to the street have
short hash marks along that section and shall be shown in
the legend thus: "///////indicates abutter's rights of
access relinquished hereon."
All private streets shall be shown on the subdivision map
and shall be clearly identified as a "Private Street."
· h. Easements. The sidelines of all easements existing and
proposed easements shall be shown by fine dotted lines. If
an easement already of record cannot be definitely located,
a statement of the existence, the nature thereof and its
recorded reference must appear on. the title sheet.
Distances and bearings on the side lines of lots which are
cut by an easement must be arrowed or so shown that the map
will indicate clearly the actual lengths of the lot lines.
The widths of all easements and sufficient ties thereto to
definitely locate the same with respect to the subdivision
must be shown. All easements shall be clearly labeled and
identified. If an easement shown on the map is already of
record, its recorded reference shall be given. If an
easement is being dedicated by the map, it shall be set out
in the owner's certificate of dedication. Easements for
street trees shall be provided in conformance with City
Standards. In any instance where sidewalk is waived or a
less-than-standard right of way width is approved, the
easement for street trees shall have a minimum width of lO
feet. Easements reserved by the owner for public utilities
or for other purposes ~hall be shown on the map and so
designated thereon.
In subdivisions which consist of condominiums with more
than one lot and there are private utilities or drainage
facilities crossing lot boundaries, an easement to
subsequent owners shall be delineated on the final map in
accordance with Section 18.20.150 of the City Code.
i. Inundation lines for the design flood shall be clearly
indicated whenever a stream, channel, or body of water is
within or adjacent to the subdivision.-

SECTION IV - BASIS OF BEARINGS/MONUMENTATION
BASIS OF BEARINGS.
A. The preferred basis of bearing is a Lambert Grid bearing on the
California State Coordinate System. The bearing may be obtained from
a previously recorded survey {or from a new survey} meeting the
following requirements.
1. If the bearing is being established, it shall be established
from at least two United States Coast and Geodetic Survey
monuments of second order (or better) and be shown on a
previously recorded map.
2. A triangulation or trilateration net shall be shown on the map
and, furthermore, the bearing and distance ties from the
existing control stations to the point being established on the
subdivision must be given.
3. A similar following note shall be shown on the map if the basis
is the California Coordinate System: "The basis of bearings for
this map is the California Grid bearing between Station
(nameI and Station (name) ,
1.e., (bearing) "
4. The following note shall also be included with the basis:
NOTE: "Bearings, distances and coordinates are in terms of the
California Coordinate System, Zone 6, based locally
on order stations {name) and
{name "
B. A basis of bearing may be a reference line from a recorded
subdivision, parcel map, or record of survey map, provided that at
least two found or established points of record are on that line. If
this method is used, the basis of bearing must state:
"The basis of bearings for this map is the {east, west, etc.) line
of (name of ref. map) , Map No. i.e.,
(reference bearing) "
C. Basis of bearing is unacceptable when based on:
1. No record bearing is shown on the line;
2. NO monuments of records are found on the line;
3. Found monuments on the line are designated "No Record";
4. The bearing of the line is assumed;
5. It is a'line on a City tie-point sheet, improvement drawing,
State highway map, or any other map that is not recorded.
-42-
II. Nonumentation.
A. General.
1. A monument is set or placed at a particular location to mark a
point of a boundary or survey. -Monuments shall be a permanent
type of monument such as a pipe, concrete cylinder, or steel rod.
2. {a) All "found" monuments shall be fully identified by type,
condition {rusted, bent, etc.} lot and block number, tract
name and number, place of record, section, township and
range, or other proper identification; and if they appear
on a previously recorded map, record of survey, County Road
Survey, City Tie Point Sheet, State Highway or other public
record, the reference number of the record shall be shown.
{b) All found monuments shown on final maps shall be flagged in
the field for inspection by the City prior to recordation
of the map.
3. All monuments found or set shall be tied into the subdivision by
bearing and distance. In case there is a variance between the
"record" tie and the "measured" tie, to a found monument, the
record bearing and distance shall be shown in parenthesis; for
example {SBg°SI'20"E, 13g.75', R. of S. 8006).
4. The map shall show monuments set at the true corners, angle
points and curve points around the boundary of the parcel or
parcels being surveyed, except as noted below and in Section IV
C-3.
5. In cases where conditions make it physically impossible to
monument the true corner, the monuments may be shown as having
been set at an offset, in which case the bearing and distance
shall be shown between the corner and the monument.
6. Proper notation shall be made concerning any points reset by
ties.
7. The subdivider shall be reponsible for having a registered civil
engineer or a licensed land surveyor:
{a} Replace any monument or bench mark {as required by this
manual or located in making a survey} that is disturbed or
destroyed'before acceptance of all improvements.
(b) Reestablish at or near the surface any monument which will
be buried during the process of subdivision development
before acceptance of improvements.
-43-
8. Monuments, except for boundary monuments, may be set after
acceptance of improvements. A certificate of such intent shall
be placed upon the map and signed by a registered civil engineer
or licensed surveyor as appropriate.
9. All "pipe" monuments and "lead and disc" monuments set shall be

number of the surveyor or ci'vil engineer setting it, each number
to be preceded by the letters L.S. or R.C.E. stamped on a metal
disc.
B. T~pes of ~numents. Authorized monuments to be set in the City of
C ula Vista, and the symbols to be used on maps are as shown on
Figure 13.
C. ~nument Locations.
1. If a recorded monument is found at the location of a monument
required to be set, said monument shall be used in lieu of
replacing it with a new monument, provided this existing
monument is in satisfactory condition and is a type more
permanent than wooden hubs.
2. Boundary monuments shall be set at each boundary angle point or
point of curvature and at intermediate points not more than
1,O00 feet apart.
3. Lot corner monuments shall be set at the true lot corner unless
lead plugs and metal discs are set on an offset line, then they
shall be set at the designated offset on the prolongation of the
lot lines. When offsets are used they shall be clearly
indicated upon the title sheet and on each of the final map
sheets.

D. Monument Performance Guarantees.
1. A monumentation surety in an amount stipulated by the engineer
of work and approved by the City Engineer, to cover the cost of
setting monuments in a subdivision shall be posted in conformity
with Code requirements.
2. Setting of boundary monuments shall- be accomplished prior to
approval of a parcel map or subdivision map.
3. Within thirty days following recordation of a subdivision map
(or acceptance of improvements in the case of delayed
monumentation), the civil engineer or land surveyor responsible
for the survey will make an appointment with
the City Engineer for a joint inspection of all monuments noted
on map as being "found" or "set". In lieu of a joint
inspection, said civil engineer or land surveyor may "flag" all
monuments, so that the City Survey Party may inspect said
monumentation. The City Survey Party shall inspect each mapped
area to ensure that all "found" and set monuments noted on map
are as described, and in the stated location; and that all
monuments noted or being replaced have been replaced. Any
discrepancies noted will be corrected by the civil engineer or
land surveyor responsible for the preparation of the parcel map
or subdivision map. SUbdivision survey monumentation bonds will
not be released until such corrective action to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer has been accomplished.
4. In the event of the death, disability, retirement or refusal of
the civil engineer or land surveyor charged with the
responsibility for setting monuments, an amended map shall be
filed by another civil engineer or land surveyor in accordance
with the provisions of Section 66498 of the Subdivision Map
Act. Monuments would then be set by the substitute engineer or
land surveyor.
E. Bench Marks.
1. Procedure.
a. All vertical control in subdivisions shall be referenced to
established City bench marks.
b. The subdivider shall show on Sheet No. 1 of the subdivision
improvement plans, the reference bench mark on which all
subdivision elevations are based.
c. Such reference bench mark may be an established City bench
mark or it may be a new reference bench mark established by
the subdivider.
(1) A copy of field survey level notes shall be submitted
to the City Engineer by the subdivider showing levels
taken from an established City bench mark to any new
reference bench mark established for the subdivision.
{2) When a new reference bench mark is established by the
subdivider the Survey Section shall field check the
elevation of such bench mark by running check levels
from an established City bench mark. Upon approval of
the elevation of the new bench mark by the City's
Survey Party Chief he shall record such bench mark in
the City Bench Mark Book.

SECTION V - DESIGN CRITERIA
I. GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA.
A. Block Design
A residential block is an area which is entirely bounded by streets,
highways, ways {except alleys), or by the exterior boundary or
boundaries of a subdivision. The maximum length of a residential
block shall be 1,500 feet.
B. Lot Design
Each lot shall constitute a practical building site appropriate for
the type of development contemplated, and shall include adequate "pad
areas".
l. "Pad area" is defined as the area of lot exclusive of all
slopes. Check the proposed house plans for the subdivision to
determine if the "pad area" permits the structure on it with
adequate level areas.
2. The minimum lot area is established by the Zoning Ordinance or
Development Standards. (A lot may have the required "lot area"
but may not have adequate "pad area" because of the slopes on
the lot. Therefore, the "pad area" actually dictates the size
of the lot. (Custom lots are not usually affected by "pad area"
because the house will be designed to fit the site.)

3. The 50-foot minimum lot width at the setback has been
established in order to somewhat assure a house may be
constructed on the lot without much problem. Lots with
diverging side lot lines will usually have no problem
accommodating a house. However, lots with converging side lot
lines may have a problem because the lot becomes nattower
towards the rear. The proposed house plans should be checked to
see if the house will fit on the lot. The front yard setback
will be increased to provide 22 feet between the face of the
garage and the back of sidewalk.
LOTg ON THIS S~O~ O, TWE CU~E
4. The minimum lot frontage applies primarily to lots which front
on a straight street. Lots which front on a curved street will
usually have lot frontages that are either greater or less than
the minimum lot frontage requirements. The minimum 50 foot lot
width at the setback is usually applied to the lots fronting on
a curved street.
-49-
S. The minimum lot frontage of a lot on a cul-de-sac or knuckle is
35 feet. The minimum lot width at the setback line shall be 50
feet and shall be the determinant factor if the lot frontage has
to be increased. The purpose of the minimum lot frontage of 35
feet is to allow street parking. If the frontages are too
narrow, the driveways would take up all the area for parking.

CUL-DE-~ ~' UCKLE z
6. Side lot lines should be 90° or perpendicular to a straight
street and radial to a curved street and cul-de-sac. Side lot
lines which are not perpendicular or radial are permitted when
the lot configurations would be awkward otherwise. The teason
for these guidelines is that the resultant lots will be more
unifom and regular in shape present a more orderly appearance
and a house will usually fit those lots easier than lots .which
~re irregularly shaped.
7. The minimum lot depth is 90 feet. This is increased to ll0 feet
for lots fronting or backing up to arterials, majors and
collectors. The reason for the increased lot depth is to allow
a greater separation between the travel portion of the street
and the house. The minimum lot depth is predicated on the
standard setback, house depth and rear yard depth and allows
some flexibility as to the front setback of the house.

8. Lots fronting on two {2) paralleling local streets are not
permitted because of maintenance problems of the rear area
especially if the rear portion iS a downslope, These lots may
be permitted in 'hillside development" areas because of
topographic differences but will have rights of access to only
one street. i
MAJOR OR COLLECTOR STREET ~ ~//

access to such streets shall be relinquished and a decorative
masonry wall (plus a six-foot minimum width strip of permanent
landscaping with automatic sprinkler system) shall be provided
along the major street for the full width of the lot unless
waived by the Planning Commission,
ll. Whenever lots are permitted to front on an arterial, major or
collector street by the Planning Commission or City Council, a
"T" type driveway shall be. provided on each lot in order that a
car not back out onto the street because of the high potential
traffic hazard,

13. No remnants of property, excepting one-foot control lots, shall
be created which do not conform to the Subdivision or Zoning
Ordinances. They may be created if some provision is made that
the remnant property will be developed as adjacent lands are

IV. DRAINAGE:
A. Scope. The scope of this section is to establish design criteria and
procedures to be followed in the design of storm drain facilities.
B. Definitions.
1. Major Drainage Channel or System: A channel which drains an
area in excess of 750 acres.
2. Lateral Drainage Channel or System: A channel which drains an
area in excess of lO0 acres but less than 750 acres and empties'
into a major channel.
3. Local Drainage Channel or System: A drainage system which
collects local runoff from an area of less than lO0 acres and
transports water to a lateral or major system.
4. Drainage Channel or System: An open or closed conduit, improved
or unimproved, designed for the purpose of collecting and
transporting storm water runoff in such manner as to protect
public and private property.
5. Drainage Structure: A catch basin, outlet, inlet, headwall,
spillway, energy dissipator, junction box, cleanout box,
diversion box, etc., in a drainage channel or system.
6. Design Storm: A storm of such magnitude which may be expected
to occur once during a specified number of years and resulting
in the maximum storm water runoff to be anticipated once during
that specified number of years.
C. General Responsibility for Construction and Financing of Various
Drainage Facilities. When a property is subdivided, the developer is
required to accept any drainage which enters his property, to convey
tt in appropriate facilities across his property, and to discharge it
into the stream into which it would naturally drain. The developer
of land through which drainage flows is responsible for the cost of
design and construction of drainage facilities~ to include any
off-site easements or facilities which may be necessary to accomplish
these drainage responsibilities.
D. Design Storm. In general, all major drainage channels shall be
designed to discharge a 50-year ultimate storm, without static head;
lateral channels shall be designed to discharge a lO-year storm
without static head at entrances and a 50-year ultimate storm
utilizing available head without causing substantial damage to
surrounding property; and local channels and drainage facilities
within street right of ways shall be designed to discharge a lO-year
-69-
storm utilizing available head without causing substantial property
damage, except that where a sump condition exists and excess runoff
has no alternate route, special design shall be required for the
protection of property.
E. Hydrology.
1. Runoff quantities as set forth or derived from the report
prepared by Lawrence, FogS, Florer and Smith titled "A Special
Study of Storm Drain Facilities" on file in the office of the
Director of Public Works may be used in the design of drainage
facilities in Chula Vista.
2. For small drainage basins {not exceeding 200 acres) the
following method for determining runoff, based on the Rational
Formula {Q = CiA), may be used.
a. Coefficient of Runoff: C {Consider Probable Development.
Use average of the following values.}
Paved Surface 0.90
Commercial Area 0.85
Dense Residential (R-2, R-3) 0.75
Normal Residential {R-l) 0.65
Suburban Property (RE) 0.55
Barren Slopes - Steep 0.80
" " - Hilly 0.75
" " - Rolling 0.70
" " - Flat 0.65
Vegetated Slopes - Steep 0.60
. " - Hilly 0.55
,, " - Rolling 0.50
" " - Flat 0.45
Farm Land 0.35
Parks, Golf Courses 0.30
NOTES: Steep = Steep, rugged terrain with average slopes
generally above 30%. {See Section II B8e
for slope determination.)
Hilly = Hilly terrain with average slopes of 10%
to 30%.
Rolling = Rolling terrain with average slopes of
5% to 10%.
Flat = Relatively flat land, with average slopes
of 0% to 5%.
-70-
b. Intensity of Rainfall {i = inches/hr.}
{1) Determine time of concentration {tc = minutes):

H
L = Length of water shed {miles)
H = Difference in elevation from furthermost point to
the design point {feet).
{2) If computed tc is: ~d
Less than 5 Minutes 8 Minutes
5-10 Minutes 5 Minutes
ll-15 Minutes 3 Minutes
Greater than 15 Minutes 0 Minutes
{3) Use rainfall intensity duration curve {CVDS ll) to
find intensity {i).
c. Area of water shed {A = acres). To be measured using
suitable topographic map.
3. Other recognized hydrologic methods to determine runoff may be
used, if substantiated, and approved by the City Engineer.
F. Drainage Criteria.
1. Streets:
a. A residential street, 36-foot travelway, shall maintain a
5-foot dry lane on each side of centerline.
b. A residential-collector street, 40-foot travelway, shall
maintain a lO-foot dry lane on each side of centerline.
