(c) Upon approval of the Landscape Documentation Package by the local agency, the projectapplicant shall:(1) receive a permit or approval of the plan check or design review and record the date of thepermit in the Certificate of Completion;(2) submit a copy of the approved Landscape Documentation Package along with the recorddrawings, and any other information to the property owner or his/her designee; and(3) submit a copy of the Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet to the local water purveyor.Note: Authority Cited: Section 65595, Government Code. Reference: Section 65596,Government Code.§ 492.2 Penalties.(a) A local agency may establish and administer penalties to the project applicant for noncompliancewith the ordinance to the extent permitted by law.Note: Authority Cited: Section 65595, Government Code. Reference: Section 65596,Government Code.§ 492.3 Elements of the Landscape Documentation Package.(a) The Landscape Documentation Package shall include the following six (6) elements:(1) project information;(A) date(B) project applicant(C) project address (if available, parcel and/or lot number(s))(D) total landscape area (square feet)(E) project type (e.g., new, rehabilitated, public, private, cemetery, homeowner-installed)(F) water supply type (e.g., potable, recycled, well) and identify the local retail water purveyor ifthe applicant is not served by a private well(G) checklist of all documents in Landscape Documentation Package(H) project contacts to include contact information for the project applicant and property owner(I) applicant signature and date with statement, "I agree to comply with the requirements of thewater efficient landscape ordinance and submit a complete Landscape DocumentationPackage".(2) Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet;(A) hydrozone information table(B) water budget calculations1.

(a) A project applicant shall complete the Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet which containstwo sections (see sample worksheet in Appendix B):(1) a hydrozone information table (see Appendix B, Section A) for the landscape project; and(2) a water budget calculation (see Appendix B, Section B) for the landscape project. For thecalculation of the Maximum Applied Water Allowance and Estimated Total Water Use, aproject applicant shall use the ETo values from the Reference Evapotranspiration Table inAppendix A. For geographic areas not covered in Appendix A, use data from other citieslocated nearby in the same reference evapotranspiration zone, as found in the CIMISReference Evapotranspiration Zones Map, Department of Water Resources, 1999.(b) Water budget calculations shall adhere to the following requirements:(1) The plant factor used shall be from WUCOLS. The plant factor ranges from 0 to 0.3 for lowwater use plants, from 0.4 to 0.6 for moderate water use plants, and from 0.7 to 1.0 for highwater use plants.(2) All water features shall be included in the high water use hydrozone and temporarilyirrigated areas shall be included in the low water use hydrozone.(3) All Special Landscape Areas shall be identified and their water use calculated as describedbelow.(4) ETAF for Special Landscape Areas shall not exceed 1.0.(c) Maximum Applied Water AllowanceThe Maximum Applied Water Allowance shall be calculated using the equation:MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)]The example calculations below are hypothetical to demonstrate proper use of the equationsand do not represent an existing and/or planned landscape project. The ETo values used inthese calculations are from the Reference Evapotranspiration Table in Appendix A, forplanning purposes only. For actual irrigation scheduling, automatic irrigation controllers arerequired and shall use current reference evapotranspiration data, such as from the CaliforniaIrrigation Management Information System (CIMIS), other equivalent data, or soil moisturesensor data.(1) Example MAWA calculation: a hypothetical landscape project in Fresno, CA with anirrigated landscape area of 50,000 square feet without any Special Landscape Area (SLA= 0,no edible plants, recreational areas, or use of recycled water). To calculate MAWA, the annualreference evapotranspiration value for Fresno is 51.1 inches as listed in the ReferenceEvapotranspiration Table in Appendix A.MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)]MAWA = Maximum Applied Water Allowance (gallons per year)ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches per year)0.62 = Conversion Factor (to gallons)0.7 = ET Adjustment Factor (ETAF)LA = Landscape Area including SLA (square feet)0.3 = Additional Water Allowance for SLASLA = Special Landscape Area (square feet)MAWA = (51.1 inches) (0.62) [(0.7 x 50,000 square feet) + (0.3 x 0)]= 1,108,870 gallons per yearTo convert from gallons per year to hundred-cubic-feet per year:= 1,108,870/748 = 1,482 hundred-cubic-feet per year(100 cubic feet = 748 gallons)939
