The following Water Efficient Landscape Standards are designed to assist landscape
architects, irrigation designers, contractors, planners and the public in the selection of
plant materials and irrigation methods that result in more water efficient and water
conscious landscaping throughout the City. The purpose of this chapter is:
A. To promote high quality, water efficient landscaping, water use management and
water conservation through the use of water efficient landscaping, wise use of turf areas
and appropriate use of irrigation technology and management;
B. To reduce landscape water demands without sacrificing landscape quality or
quantity;
C. To retain flexibility and encourage creativity through appropriate design;
D. To assure the attainment of water efficient landscape goals by requiring that
landscape not exceed a maximum water demand of 80 percent of its reference
evapotranspiration (ETo) or any lower percentage as may be required by State
legislation;
E. To eliminate water waste from overspray and/or runoff; and
' F. To promote water conservation through public awareness.
