R:~LSCAPE~AB325.D1 4/18/94 klb 1
Final landscape plans which have been approved prior to the effective
date of this Ordinance, unless such landscaping' is subsequently
rehabilitated;
Landscape projects with conditions which, in the determination of the
Director of Planning, would reasonably or necessarily be exempt (i.e.
users of reclaimed water).
Section 17.12.040 GENERAL PROVISIONS
All landscape plan approvals are subject to and dependent upon the applicant
complying with all applicable City ordinances, codes, regulations, and adopted
policies.
ao
Should any provision of this Chapter conflict with any other provisions already
established by the City of Temecula, the more restrictive shall apply.
If the water purveyor for a proposed project has adopted water-efficient
landscaping requirements, all landscaping and irrigation plans submitted shall
comply with the water purveyor's requirements. Said plans shall be
accompanied by a written document from the water purveyor delineating each
requirement.
Landscape design shall facilitate the implementation of landscape maintenance
practices which foster long-term water conservation. Said practices may
include, but not be limited to, scheduling irrigation based on established industry
standards, conducting water audits and establishing a water budget to limit the
amount of water applied per landscaped acre.
Section 17.12.050 PROCEDURES
The submittal, review, revision and approval of all required landscape and
irrigation plans shall be in compliance with already established City of Temecula
procedures for land use entitlements. The requirements of this Ordinance shall
be submitted jointly along with the required applications, plans and fees
required for land use entitlement as required by the Director and on file in the
Planning Department.
Landscaping plans shall be prepared using the Water Budget Formula described
in the Appendix Contract at Section 9.12.090. In addition, landscaping plans
shall provide a water budget which includes estimated annual water use (in
gallons/acre feet) and the area (in square feet/acres) to be irrigated; and
precipitation rates for each valve circuit. The Planning Director or List designee
shall approve all landscaping plans.
An applicant shall submit a letter of substantial conformance, subject to field
verification by the Planning Director or List designee, prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Use and Occupancy. Said letter of substantial conformance shall
be prepared by the project designer and shall indicate that all plant materials
R:\LSCAPE~AB325.D1 510194 ldb 2
and irrigation system components have been installed in accordance with the
approved final landscape and irrigation plans. If a Certificate of Use and
Occupancy is not required for the project, such letter of substantial
conformance sh~ll be submitted prior to scheduling for the final inspection.
Section 17.12.060 LANDSCAPE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The design and installation of all proposed landscape improvements subject to this
Section shall comply with the following provisions:
Ao
The landscaping plan shall incorporate trees, shrubs and ground covers that
have low crop coefficiency categories of 1 and 2 or medium crop coefficiency
categories of 3 and 4. The City Council shall approve by Resolution a list of
approved plans materials to assist designers in obtaining the plant coefficient
of many (but not all) plant materials. If other than those plants which are
included in the Resolution is used, the designer shall submit plant coefficient
numbers with backup information for use of the City in reviewing the plans.
Landscape design shall provide for the grouping of plant materials having similar
water demands (hydrozones) so as to facilitate appropriate and efficient water
applications.
Plants selected for non-turf areas shall be well-suited to the climate of the
region so as to require minimal water once established. Other, more water
consumptive plants should be grouped together and irrigated separately.
Absent Planning Director approved Turf is not permitted without to be planted
in areas that are less than 10 feet in width. Turf in areas of a lesser width is
difficult to water efficiently, frequently resulting in excessive watering.
Absent Planning Director approved Turf is not permitted on bermed areas due
to the problem of water run-off. Where turf is used on berms, it should be
limited to the "public" side of the berm. The backside of the berm should be
planted with less water-consuming shrubs and groundcover.
A shallow swale should be designed at the toe of all berms which are adjacent
to sidewalks or other impervious surfaces to "catch" any run-off. This will help
keep water on planted areas and help prevent weathering of pavement.
Irrigation of bermed areas should place the sprinkler heads at the toe of the
berm, so as to water "from the bottom up."
The use of turf should be limited to only those areas designated for active
recreational use or where irrigated by reclaimed water.
Prior to installation of planting, applicants are encouraged to submit soil samples
from areas proposed for planting to a soils laboratory for testing for soil fertility.
Soil testing provides the designer with information regarding proper soil
amendment, as necessary, to provide a healthy landscape environment.
Healthier plants tolerate stress conditions better. Testing can also assist in the
R:\LSCAPL=~AB325.D1 4/18/94 Idb 3
design of the irrigation system by identifying the nature of the subject soil and
thus amending the irrigation system to be as effective as possible.
A minimum 2 inch layer of mulching is required to be installed over landscaped
areas. The mulching should be in the form of shredded bark, bark chips of
varying sizes, or other similar materials. The size and type of mulch used
should allow for moisture to pass though the surface, thus providing
permeability and reduced erosion, particularly on slopes. Non-porous material
should not be placed under mulch.
Landscape design shall provide for the functional aspects of landscaping such
as grading, drainage, minimal runoff, erosion prevention, wind barriers,
provisions for shade and reduction of glare.
Go
Landscape design shall provide for the retention of existing mature landscaping
that is in good, healthful condition, incorporating such landscaping into the
landscape plan where feasible. The protection, preservation and enhancement
of native species and natural areas are encouraged.
Section 17.12.070 IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN
The design and installation of all irrigation improvements Chapter to this section shall
be in compliance with the following provisions:
All landscaped areas must be serviced by a automatic irrigation system. It is
recommended that irrigation systems be operated by dual or multiple program
controllers. Controllers should have at least two independent programs and be
capable of initiating a watering cycle three times per day. They should contain
default programs, a rain switch, manual and semi-automatic start capabilities,
be UL listed, and have a circuit breaker. Controllers used for commercial and
industrial developments should have water budgeting and testing capabilities
and be contained in a vandal-proof case.
These features insure that controllers will be suitable for the type of system
they serve and provide proper amounts of water under varying climatic
situations.
Where possible and where it can be accomplished safely, water system,s shall
be made capable of utilizing non-potable water, if approved facilities are made
available by the water purveyor. Provisions for the conversion to a non-potable
water system shall be provided within the landscape plan should there be the
possibility for future non-potable water availability. Water systems designed to
utilize non-potable water shall be designed to meet all applicable standards of
the City of Temecula, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, State
Department of Health Services, the Riverside County Health Department and the
local reclaimed water purveyor.
Go
Separate valves shall be provided for separate water use planting areas, so that
plants with similar water needs are irrigated by the same irrigation valve. Drip
irrigation techniques shall be provided where appropriate (i.e., shrubs, massing
R:~LSCAI:~"~AB325,D1 4118/94 kJb 4'
in mulched areas) in instances where spray irrigation is not necessary.
Do
Valves and circuits are recommended to be separated based on water use. As
an example, trees should be placed on a separate valve from other landscaping.
During severe drought conditions, trees could be watered while watering for
shrubs, groundcover and lawns could be cutback or eliminated.
The irrigation plan shall incorporate appropriate irrigation equipment, drip
irrigation, bubbler, spray head, and/or rotor irrigation heads in order to provide
the most efficient water application.
The irrigation system shall be designed with a minimum of 85% distribution
uniformity.
The spacing of spray heads within an irrigation system should be designed to
provide triangular or square spacing. Such spacing allows for head-to-head
coverage proportionate with their designed specifications.
Irrigation systems shall be designed, installed and maintained so as to minimize
overspray and runoff onto streets, sidewalks, driveways, structures, windows,
walls, and fences. Compliance with this provision will require consideration of
the appropriate operating pressure, head/emitter location and spray patterns
during the design phase. No overhead spray systems shall be used in landscape
areas narrower than 4 feet in width or in road mediums less than 10 feet in
width.
The use of low head check valves shall be included in irrigation systems as
applicable. Such valves prevent water from flowing out of sprinkler heads
which are located at the low points of irrigation systems when the systems are
not operating.
Pressure regulation shall to be incorporated into all irrigation systems to prevent
excessive pressure at sprinkler heads. Sprinkler heads should not operate at
pressures that exceed their design capacity. Excess pressures can result in
misting or fogging which wastes water. Also, excess pressures can damage
heads causing excessive water usage. Pressure regulation can be accomplished
through the use of a pressure regulator, or pressure regulating valves or heads.
After establishment of the plant materials, the irrigation of landscaped'areas
should be limited to the hours between dusk and early morning in order to
provide maximum benefit to the plant material and to reduce unnecessary
water loss through wind drift and evaporation. Drip irrigation systems are
exempt from this provision.
A watering schedule which incorporates the specific water needs of the plants
and turf throughout the calendar year, including water needs both before and
after the plants and turf have been established, shall be included with the
irrigation plans. The watering schedule shall take into account the particular
characteristics of the soil; shall be continuously available on site to those
responsible for the landscape maintenance; and shall contain specifics as to
R:\L~CAPE~AI~325.D1 4/18/94 klb 5
optimum run time and frequency of watering, and irrigation hours per day.
Section 17.12.080 RESIDENTIAL MODEL HOME REQUIREMENTS
Thirty percent of all model homes in residential subdivisions, or at least one,
whichever is more, shall comply with the provisions of this Chapter.
The project applicant shall provide home buyers with sample water-efficient
landscape and irrigation plans and additional educational material as approved
by the Director of Planning, upon the sale of each dwelling unit within the
project. The plans shall include a key identifying the common names of the
plants used in the landscaping.
The project applicant shall distribute outdoor water conservation pamphlets
provided by local water purveyors, if available, to buyers upon the sale of each
dwelling unit within the development.
A sign shall be displayed in the front yard of each model home which is clearly
visible to home buyers. The sign shall indicate that the model home complies
with a water-efficient landscape and irrigation design provissions of the local
ordinance.
