Hi Ray,
Yes, Multi -unit Family PUD typically requires onsite retention and has parking lots similar to a commercial
project.

Subject: question from Ray Stockstill
AJ,
The applicable precise grading plan checklist for my home in La Quinta is City of La Quinta Public Works
Department - Commercial Precise Grading Plan Review Checklist (Includes Multi -Unit Family PUD Precise
Grading). The precise grading plan checklist also references specific Engineering Bulletins and the City of La
Quinta Public Works Department - Storm Drain Plan Review Checklist. I assume all apply to both commercial
developments and PUDs. They use the term "pad". I know that a "pad" is the top on the foundation. I assume
"pad" can be an individual commercial building's pad or an individual home's pad. I have a curiosity question.
Why did the City lump commercial developments and PUDs into a single precise grading plan checklist? Was it
because the City requires both new commercial projects and new PUDs to manage storm water onsite using
onsite retention basins?
Thanks.
