STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODESECTION 5150-5152
5150. The provisions of this chapter relating to grades are alternative provisions and shall not repeal any other provisions of this division or of this code relating to change of grade. 5150.5. The legislative body may, by resolution, establish, change, or modify the official grade of any street, boulevard, park or place which is to be improved pursuant to this division, and the words "official grade" when used in this division shall mean the grade so established, changed, or modified. 5151. The grade to which any work shall be done shall be that which is shown on the plans or profiles therefor or it may be done on the grade formally established by the legislative body. If any official grade has already been adopted or established for any of the streets, avenues, or other places or property proposed to be improved, it shall be lawful for the resolution of intention to provide that said work shall be done to new grades or grades different from those so established or adopted, and shall refer to plans, profiles or specifications for the description of the grade at which the work is to be done. 5152. Any property owner whose property is to be assessed to pay the costs and expenses of the proposed work may at the time fixed in the resolution of intention for hearing of objections to the proposed work, appear before the legislative body and make objection to the proposed grade or proposed modification of grade. A failure to make objection at that time shall be deemed to be a waiver of all objections to the proposed grade or proposed change or modification of grade and shall operate as a bar to any claim for damages or any subsequent action looking to the prevention of the work or the recovery of damages on account of the performance of the work to such grade or changed grade.
