74Draft 10-13-1079. "Rehabilitated landscape means any existing planting area in which at least 50 percentof the landscape area is substantially redesigned, which may include but not be limited to newplant pallette, substantially replaced irrigation system, and substantial grading modifications,but excludes replacement of plants like for like as part of ongoing or routine maintenance.80. "Remote control valve" means a valve in an irrigation system which is activated by anautomatic electric controller via a wired or wireless signal.81. "Runoff' means water which is not absorbed by the surface to which it is applied.Runoff usually occurs when water is applied at too great a precipitation rate (e.g., applicationrate exceeds soil infiltration rate), when water is applied to saturated soils, or when water isapplied to a steep slope.82. "Smart irrigation controller" means an electronic automatic irrigation controller that isweater- or soil- moisture based with a timing device used to operate remote control valvesthat operate an irrigation system, which schedules irrigation events using evapotranspiration(weather-based) data such as that from the California Irrigation and Management InformationSystem (see definition of CIMIS) and/or data from an integral or auxiliary soil-moisture or rainsensor, and which may also include a high flow sensor for high flow damage or malfunctioncontrol.83. "Soil moisture sensor" means an instrument for measuring the moisture content of thesoil and capable of interruption of the irrigation cycle sensor when excessive moisture isdetected.84. "Soil texture" means the classification of soil based on the percentage of sand, silt, andclay in the soil. Soil texture largely determines the amount of water that can be stored in a soilas well as the soil infiltration rate.85. "Special Landscape Area" (SLA) means areas of the landscape irrigated with recycledwater; water features using recycled water; areas dedicated solely to edible plants;recreational areas as that term is defined in this section; and areas necessary for stormwatertreatment such as bioswales which are irrigated.86. "Sprinkler" means irrigation that projects pressurized water through the air (e.g., sprayheads and rotors).87. "Sprinkler, rotor head" means a sprinkler head that projects a rotating stream orstreams of water.88. "Sprinkler, spray head" means -a sprinkler head that sprays water through a spraynozzle.89. "Static water pressure" means the pipeline or municipal water supply pressure whenwater is not flowing.90. "Station" means an area served by one valve or a set of valves that operatesimultaneously.91. "Temporarily irrigated area" means a hydrozone which will be irrigated for only the plantestablishment period, not to exceed two years from the date of planting.92. "Topsoil" means the top approximately 6 to 8 inches of undeveloped site soil.93. 'Turf' means a surface layer of earth containing mowed grass with its roots. Seedefinitions of "grasses, warm-season" and "grasses, cool-season."94. "Valve" means a device used to control the flow of water in the irrigation system.95. "Very low water using plant" means a plant that can survive throughout the year withlittle or no irrigation and is generally extra drought tolerant. The primary initial reference whichshall be consulted for determining the water use category of a plant is the plant list in theWater Use Classification of Landscape Species (see definition of "WUCOLS").96 "Water conserving plant species" means a plant species identified as having a low plantfactor.8
Draft 10-13-1097. "Water feature" means a design element where artificially applied open water performsan aesthetic or recreational function, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, fountains, artificialstreams, spas, and swimming pools. Constructed wetlands such as bioswales used for onsitewastewater treatment or stormwater best management practices that are not irrigatedand used primarily for water treatment or stormwater retention or detention are not waterfeatures and, therefore, are not subject to the water budget calculation.98. "Water purveyor" means the public or private owner or operator of the water supplyingan approved water supply which provides the water that will be used to irrigate a landscapeproject.99. "WUCOLS" means the most recent (2000 or later edition) Water Use Classification ofLandscape Species published by the University of California Cooperative Extension, theDepartment of Water Resources and the Bureau of Reclamation.13.25.050 Submittal requirements.A.
