Road Standards
Our County Roads and Development Standards must be followed for any road improvement, project-related improvement in subdivisions, and any other land development project that requires County authorization.
The manual is made up of an introductory section, followed by Tabs A – H outlining different standards based on type of work, and concludes with Cal Fire Regulations. Tab A has all the plan drawings (with the exception of some in the Cal Fire Regulations). Tab A can be downloaded in its entirety, or by individual drawings (General Road Work – Misc), or by group (Drainage Plans, Planting and Irrigation Plans).
