Overview

Hamilton's Development Application Guidelines for a Grading Plan, last updated February 13, 2026, the drawing showing how existing and proposed grades meet adjacent lands and carry surface drainage to an outlet. It lists the plan's objectives, the factors that set its level of detail, the contents of a 1:500 drawing, and standalone grading plans for stormwater management facilities. It refers to the Site Plan Guidelines and the Comprehensive Development Guidelines, and attaches a Grading Plan Summary Checklist of 31 items for the engineer.
