Where a subdivision improvement plan is being processed in conjunction with either an approved tentative, parcel, or final map; or a site plan is being processed in accordance with the provisions of this code, such plan shall also be considered as an application for grading approval. Such plans shall be reviewed and approved, conditionally approved or denied in accordance with the standards and requirements set forth in the grading ordinance and other applicable city specifications. If an improvement plan or site plan is approved, then a separate grading permit shall not be required. Approval of the improvement plans constitutes approval of the grading work intended. (Prior code § 9.32.1602)
