Section 17.12.020 - Definitions
Allowable Percentage: Means allowable percentage for determining the maximum
allowable water budget is 0.8. This represents a factor including consideration of an average
landscape coefficient and irrigation efficiency.
Amendment: Means additions to the soil, such as compost, leaf mold, peat moss, ground
bark, which improve aeration and drainage of clay soils and help hold water in sandy soils.
3mti-drain Valve: A valve located under a sprinkler head to hold water in the system so
it does not drain out of the lower elevation sprinkler heads.
Application Rate: The depth of water applied to a given area in one hour, usually
measured in inches per hour.
Automatic Controller: A mechanical or solid state timer, capable of operating valve
stations to set the days and length of time of a water application.

to the plant.
Established Landscape: The point at which plants in the landscape have established
themselves into the adjacent soil.
Ord$ 94-22 2
Establishinent Period: For purposes of this ordinance, the first year after installing the
plant in the landscape. The actual establishment period varies depending upon the plant species,
the development of the plant's root system, soil conditions, and other environmental factors.
Estimated Water Use: The amount of water the designer estimates that project will need
on an annual basis. The estimated water use cannot exceed the maximum allowable water budget.

transpired by plants, and retained in plant tissue during a specific time.
Flow Rate: The rate at which water flows through pipe fittings and valves.
Hydrozone: A portion of the landscape area having plants with similar water needs that
are served by a valve or set of valves with the same setting. A hydrozone may be non-irrigated,
for example, a naturalized area.
Irrigation Efficiency: The measurement of the amount of water beneficially used divided
by the amount of water applied.
Landscape coefficient: The functional equivalent of a crop coefficient in agriculture.
When multiplied times ETo, it estimates the amount of water required to maintain landscape plants
in good condition.
Landscape Irrigation Audit: A process to perform site inspections, evaluate irrigation
systems, and develop efficient irrigation schedules.
Landscaped Area: The entire parcel less the building pad, driveways, non-irrigated
portions of parking lots, hardscapes - such as decks and patios, and other non porous areas.
Land Use Entitlement: Any legislative, discretionary or quasi-judicial review that
requires city approval.
Lateral Line: The water delivery pipeline that supplies water to the emitters or sprinklers
from the main line.
Main Line: The pipeline that delivers water from the water source to the lateral lines.
Mature Landscape: See "Established Landscape"
Maximum Allowable Water Budget: For design purposes, the upper limit of annual
water use for the established landscaped area. It is based upon the area's average year climate and
the size of the landscaped area.
Ords 94-22 3
Moisture Sensing Device: A device that measures the moisture conditions of the soil in
a variety of ways.
Mulch: Any material such as leaves, bark, or straw left loose and applied to the soils
surface to prevent evaporation.
Operating Pressure: The pressure at which a system of sprinklers operates. (Static
pressure minus pressure losses.) This is usually indicated at the base or nozzle of a sprinkler.

irrigation system when water reaches a certain level.
Reclaimed Water: Treated or recycled water of a quality suitable for nonpotable uses
such as landscape irrigations; not intended for drinking.
Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo): A standard measurement of evapotranspiration for
a large field of 4- to 7- inch tall, cool season grass that is well watered.
Rehabilitated Landscape: Rehabilitated Landscaping is a significant replacement of
established landscaping and/or irrigation with a new landscaping and irrigation. For purposes or
this ordinances, significant is defined as any replacement exceeding 50% of a landscaped area and
at the discretion of the Director of Planning.
Run Off: Water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to which it is applied.
Run off occurs when water is applied at too great a rate or when there is a severe slope.
Soil Texture: The classification of soil based on the percentage of sand, silt, and clay in

Section 17.12.040 General Provisions
A. All landscape plan approvals are subject to and dependant upon the applicant
complying with all applicable City ordinances, codes, regulations, and adopted policies.
B. Should any provision of this Chapter conflict with any other provisions already
established by the City of Temecula, the more restrictive shall apply.
C. 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.
D. 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 landscape acre.
Section 17.12.050 Procedures
A. 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 Chapter shall be submitted jointly along with the
required applications, plans and fees required for land use entitlement as required by the Director
of Planning and on file in the Planning Department.
B. Landscaping plans shall be prepared using the Water Budget Formula described in
the Appendix A on file in the office of the City Clerk. 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.
C. An applicant shall submit a letter of substantial conformance, subject to field
verification by the Planning Director or his or her 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 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 shall be
submitted prior to scheduling for the final inspection.
Ord$ 94-22 6
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:
A. 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.
A plant list indicating the crop coefficient is contained in Appendix A on file in the office of the
City Clerk. The list of approved plants and materials is intended to assist designers in obtaining
the plant coefficient of many plant materials. If plants not included in the list are used, the
designer shall submit plant coefficient numbers with backup information for use of the City in
reviewing the plans.
B. 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
to as to require minimal water once established. Other, more water consumptive plants should
be grouped together and irrigated separately.
C. Turf without justification to be planted in areas that are less than 10 feet in width.
Turf in areas of a lesser width are difficult to water efficiently, frequently resulting in excessive
watering.
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.
D. 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 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.
Ords 94-22 7
E. A minimum 2 inch layer of mulching is required to be installed over landscaped
areas. The mulching should be in the form of shredded bard, bark chips of varying sizes, or other
similar materials. The size and type of mulch used should allow for moisture to pass through the
surface, thus providing permeability and reduced erosion, particularly on slopes. Non-porous
material should not be placed under mulch.
F. 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.
G. 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 shall be in compliance with the
following provisions:
A. All landscaped areas must be services 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.
B. Where possible and where it can be accomplished safely, water systems 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.
C. 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 in-mulched areas) in
Ords 94-22 8
instances where spray irrigation is not necessary.
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.
D. 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.
uniformity.
The irrigation system shall be designed with a minimum of 85 % distribution
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.
E. The use of 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.
F. 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.
G. 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.
H. 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
Ords 94-22 9
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 optimum run
time and frequency of watering, and irrigation hours per day.
Section 17.12.080 Residential Model Homes Requirements
A. Thirty percent of all model homes in residential subdivisions, or at least one,
whichever is more, shall comply with provisions of this Chapter.
B. 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.
C. The project applicant shall distribute outdoor water conservation pamphlets provides
by local water purveyors, if available, to buyers upon the sale of each dwelling unit within the
development.
D. 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 provisions of the local ordinance.
Section 3. The Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance has been determined to be exempt
from the California Environmental quality Act, pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines.
Section 4. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its
passage. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance. The City Clerk shall
publish a summary of this Ordinance and a certified copy of the full text of this Ordinance shall
be posted in the office of the City Clerk at least five days prior to the adoption of this Ordinance.
Within 15 days from adoption of this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall publish a summary of this
Ordinance, together with the names of the Councilmembers voting for and against the Ordinance,
and post the same in the office of the City Clerk.
Section 5. Ordinance 93-14 is hereby repealed.
