Truckee Development Code Section 18.30.080 regulates grading and vegetation removal. Truckee's mountainous terrain makes erosion control and slope stability central to the Town's grading review.
Section 18.30.080 of the Development Code governs grading and vegetation removal Town-wide, working with the Town's adopted California Building Code (TMC Title 15) which requires a grading permit for cuts/fills exceeding the CBC Appendix J thresholds (generally 50 cubic yards). Steep-slope and erosion-control plans are required in high-hazard areas, and stormwater BMPs follow California's MS4 small-municipality permit. Projects within the Tahoe Basin must also comply with TRPA Chapter 60 (Soil Conservation) and Chapter 81 (Best Management Practices).
Grading without a permit is enforced under TMC Title 15 and DC 18.30.080 with stop-work orders, retroactive permits, and required restoration/erosion-control mitigation.
