Irrigation Efficiency. For the purpose of this chapter, the following irrigation efficiencynumbers shall be used for each of the following irrigation equipment categories. Projectapplicants may request an alternate irrigation efficiency number for specific equipmentprovided the request is substantiated by reference material from a published source or otherdata such as manufacturer s ecifications submitted to and approved by the director.Irrigation Equipment TypeIrrigationEfficiencyDrip irrigation0.9(both above and below ground)Bubblers and/or micro spray 0. 85Rotor head sprinklers in planter areas 0.758 feet or widerRotor head sprinklers in planter areasless than 8 feet wideSpray head sprinklers in planter areas8 feet or widerSpray head sprinklers in planter areasless than 8 feet wideWater features0.710.71notpermittedApplicantto proposebased onhow waterapplied6.

Soil Management Plan.1278
Draft 10-13-101. The purpose of this section is to improve the soil's ability to absorb and retainwater; have generally drought resistant soil; reduce runoff and erosion; and promote healthyplant growth.2. If mass grading is proposed that will remove a foot or more of existing grade,submittal of the soils analysis report required by subsections (C)(3) and (C)(4) of this sectionmay be deferred until after rough grading is completed at the discretion of the director,provided that the requirements of subsections (C)(3) and (C)(4) of this section are completedand made available with resulting recommendations to the project landscape professionaland incorporated into the landscape design plan in the final approved construction plans.Deferred soil analysis shall analyze sample(s) of topsoil preserved per grading requirementsof subsection (F)(2)(b) of this section and other soils likely to be planted.3. A soil analysis report using adequate sampling depth for the intended plantssatisfying the following conditions shall be submitted as part of the submittal requirements.a. Determination of soil texture, indicating the percentage of organic matter;b. An approximate soil infiltration rate (either measured or derived from soiltexture/infiltration rate tables). A range of infiltration rates shall be noted where appropriate;c. Measure of pH, and total soluble salts;d. Any recommended amendments to the soil to meet the purpose of this section.e. Fertilizers if used shall be specified as either organic and non-synthetic, orcontrolled release (slower release) if synthetic.f. Recommendations shall be tailored to recycled water if applicable.4. Additional requirements for larger landscapes: In addition to the requirements ofsubsection (C)(3) of this section, the following soil analysis report requirements shall apply toproject development sites with a total landscape area of 10,000 square feet or more, and arerecommended for smaller landscape areas. The soil analysis shall also identify:a. Measurement of essential nutrients;b. Identification of critical soil limitations including but not limited to, compacted,water logged, or thin soils;c. Areas of quality topsoil to be preserved;d. Actions to mitigate identified critical soil limitations;e. Amendment of soils designed to promote healthy water and air access to theroot zone of trees to be planted within 5 feet of any pavement or other compactedarea; andf. The amount of compost to achieve a minimum 3.5% organic matter content bydry weight unless the soil report recommends an alternative percent of organicmatter tailored to the plant materials specified in the landscape design plan.5. Mulch.a. A mulch of at least three inches shall be applied to all planting areas exceptturf.b. Stabilizing mulch products shall be applied to slopes of 3 to 1 or greater(where 3 to 1 means 1 foot of vertical elevation change for every 3 feet of horizontallength).c. The mulching portion of the seed/mulch slurry in hydroseed applications shallmeet the requirement of at least 3 inches of mulch.D. Landscape Design Plan.
