than 10 feet wide 0.4F. Landscape Design Plan. A landscape design plan shall be submitted as partof the landscape documentation package.1. Plant Selection and Grouping.a. Any plants may be used in the landscape, providing the estimatedapplied water use recommended does not exceed the maximum applied waterallowance and that the plants meet the specifications set forth in subsections(F)(1)(b) and (F)(1)(c) of this section.b. Plants having similar water use shall generally be groupedtogether in distinct hydrozones.c. Plants having nearly similar water use may be grouped together,that is, high and medium water using plants may be grouped, or medium and lowwater using plants may be grouped together. However, high and low water usingplants shall not be grouped together in the same hydrozone. For mixed planthydrozones, the more water intensive plant factor (higher number) shall be usedfor the entire hydrozone.2. Water Features.a. Recirculating water shall be used for all decorative water features.3. Landscape Design Plan Specifications. The landscape design planshall be drawn on project base sheets at a scale that accurately and clearlyidentifies the following:a. Designation of hydrozones;b. Landscape materials, trees, shrubs, ground cover, turf, andexisting vegetation. Planting symbols shall be clearly drawn and plants labeledby botanical name, common name, container size, spacing and quantities ofeach group of plants indicated;c. Property lines and street names;d. Streets, driveways, walkways, and other paved areas;e. Pools, spas, ponds, water features, fences and retaining walls;f. Existing and proposed buildings and structures including thelocation of windows and doorways;g. Natural features, including, but not limited to, rock outcroppings;h. Soil, planting, and irrigation details;i. A calculation showing the square footage of each hydrozone andthe total landscaped area;j. Designation of special recreational areas such as playgrounds, orsports fields where turf serves as a playing surface.G. Irrigation Design Plan. An irrigation design plan meeting the followingconditions shall be submitted as part of the landscape documentation package.1. Irrigation Design Criteria.a. Point of Connection. All irrigation equipment must be connected tothe landscape water meter for a project. No portion of the irrigation system maybe connected to the domestic water meter, unless only one water meter isrequired for the property.b. Runoff and Overspray. The irrigation system shall deliver water ata rate compatible with the soil types and infiltration rates of the site. All irrigation826
systems shall be designed to avoid runoff, low head drainage, overspray, orother similar conditions where water flows onto adjacent property, nonirrigatedareas, walks, roadways or structures. Proper irrigation equipment and schedules,including such features such as repeat cycles, shall be used to closely matchmaximum application rates to infiltration rates.2. Equipment.a. Water Meters. Separate landscape water meters shall be installedfor all newly installed or renovated projects subject to this chapter (except singlefamilyhomes). All irrigation equipment throughout all projects must be connectedto the landscape water meter.b. Controllers. Automatic electronic controllers shall be required forall irrigation systems and must be able to accommodate all aspects of the design.At a minimum the controller shall have the capability to create two independentprograms, include three cycle start times per program, have a battery backup toprotect the program in the case of power failure, and contain a rain switch tointerrupt the program in the case of rain.c. Valves. Electronic valves are required for all irrigation systems. Avalve may irrigate a maximum of one hydrozone of plants with similar water useas described in the plant selection and grouping section.d. Sprinkler Heads and Emitters. Heads and emitters shall havecompatible application rates within each control valve circuit. Sprinkler headsshall be selected for proper area coverage, application rate, operating pressure,adjustment capability, and ease of maintenance.e. Antidrain (Check) Valves. Antidrain valves shall be installed atstrategic low points throughout the plan to avoid low-head drainage.f. Rain Sensing Override Devices. Rain sensing override devices arerecommended on all irrigation systems and are required on all projects thatcontain at least 10,000 square feet of landscape area.g. Soil Moisture Sensing Devises. Soil moisture sensing devices arerecommended on all irrigation systems.3. Irrigation Design Plan Specifications. The irrigation system shall bedesigned to be consistent with the planting design hydrozones. The irrigationdesign plan shall be drawn on project base sheets. It should be separate from,but use the same format as, the landscape design plan. The scale shall be thesame as that used for the landscape design plan.The irrigation design plan shall accurately and clearly identify:a. Location and size of separate water meters for landscapeirrigation;b. Location, type, and size of all components of the irrigation system,including automatic controllers, main and lateral lines, valves, sprinkler heads,emitters, moisture sensing devices, rain sensing devices, quick couplers, andbackflow prevention devices;c. Static water pressure at the point of connection to the public watersupply;d. Flow rate (gallons per minute), application rate (inches per hour,and design operating pressure (psi) for each station.927
