AGENDA REPORT
1`�EM Q • G•
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Directo
Prepared By: Scott Wolfe, Principal Planner ;
DATE: May 19, 2004 (CC Meeting of 6/2/04)
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Establishing Landscape Design
Standards and Guidelines
BACKGROUND
For several years, the City Council has included on its list of
Council Goals, the development and adoption of Design Guidelines
for Landscaping and Irrigation. On April 3, 2002, the City
Manager entered into an agreement with the City's Landscape
Consultant, Jeremy Laurentowski of Professional Design Inc., to
draft these Guidelines. Currently, City staff relies upon
outdated guidelines from the County of Ventura for much of its
landscape review. This has made the process difficult for
developers, as there is no formal document which establishes
standards and guidelines for landscaping and irrigation systems.
A draft set of standards and guidelines has been drafted by the
Landscape Consultant, revised and presented by staff, and
reviewed by the Planning Commission. A copy of the Agenda
Report to the Planning Commission is attached. On May 4, 2004,
the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council adoption
of these draft standards and guidelines.
DISCUSSION
Staff has worked with the City's Landscape Architect to develop
standards and guidelines that address common issues within the
City. A document has been prepared which presents these
standards and guidelines in a manner that makes them useful to
City staff and property owners alike. This document would apply
to all new development projects, as well as modifications to
existing projects, with the exception of entitlement

applications for individual single - family houses. It addresses
general landscape policies, planting and irrigation requirements
for various types of developments, forms for use in the
landscape design review process, planting lists, and standard
plates illustrating proper planting and irrigation techniques.
The draft document was originally scheduled for Planning
Commission consideration on April 6, 2004. Due to very full
schedules, the item was continued to subsequent meetings, and
May 4, 2004, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-
2004 -460, recommending approval of the document, subject to
suggested revisions. In addition to emphasizing the need to
exclude individual single family residences from adherence to
the standards and guidelines, the Planning Commission requested
that the document also express the intent that existing
Homeowners Associations are not affected by these guidelines as
well, unless there is a major revision to the development they
serve. Statements expressing these intentions have been added
to the document.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The adoption of Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines is
considered to be a "project" under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), requiring an appropriate level of
environmental review. In accordance with the City's
environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the
Community Development Director determines the level of review
necessary for a project to comply with CEQA. Some projects may
be exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in
CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule that
environmental review is not necessary where it can be determined
that there would be no possibility of a significant effect upon
the environment. A project which does not qualify for an
exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess
the level of potential environmental impacts.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify
for a General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15061 of
California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). The standards
and guidelines do not mandate any design that would pose a
significant adverse environmental effect. Effects of the
landscaping design can only be properly evaluated on a project -
by- project basis when landscaping plans are submitted.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared by Scott Wolfe, Principal Planner
DATE: March 17, 2004 (PC Meeting of 04/06/04)
SUBJECT: Consider Recommendation to City Council on Landscape
Design Standards and Guidelines
BACKGROUND
As part of the annual City Council Goals and Objectives, the City
Council has identified, for the past several years, the need to
adopt guidelines for preparation of landscape and irrigation plans.
This goal is currently listed as item number F -8 on the list of
departmental goals and objectives.
In support of this Goal of the City Council, Community Development
staff has worked with the City's Landscape Consultant to develop a
series of standards and guidelines to ensure that the landscaping of
new development projects, as well as, that of public facilities and
streetscapes, is designed to achieve the desired outcome at
maturity.
DISCUSSION
The attached document represents a comprehensive program for the
implementation of landscape design policies and regulations which
are already in existence within the City today. The benefits to be
gained from these Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines will be
realized by both City staff, as well as, by private land owners and
developers, through the clear communication of expectations and
standards pertaining to the installation and maintenance of
landscaping and irrigation systems.
The Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines begin with general
information which pertains to all projects in the City. This
information identifies points of concern which should be considered
when designing the landscape and irrigation plans for any project.
Issues such as water conservation, fire hazard mitigation, public

accessibility, and development of community character are addressed
in a very general way, so that landscape designers can understand
these concerns before considerable time is expended in design.
Landscape Plan submittal requirements and processing procedures
constitute the next portion of the document. These sections
establish standards for submittals and outline the general
processing steps to enable applicants to navigate their way through
the Landscape Plan review process as easily and expeditiously as
possible. The procedures and requirements sections address the
format of plans, the content of submittals, and the process from the
time of submittal to the final inspection of landscaping and
irrigation and the release of sureties.
Next, the Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines identify design
standards to be used for different types of projects. These project
types range from public concerns such as streetscapes to private
developments. Separate requirements exist for single- family
residential projects, as well as, commercial and industrial
projects, and treatments of utilities. Parking areas have their own
requirements in the document as well.
Finally, the Standards and Guidelines provide a series of aids to
applicants designing and submitting plans to the City. Applications
and other forms are included in the "Attachments to the Standards
and Guidelines." other helpful information is included, such as
plant lists, submittal requirements, and standard details for the
installation of plant materials and irrigation equipment.
It should be noted that these Standards and Guidelines are intended
to provide direction to applicants and guidance to staff in
processing requests for landscape approval on public projects, and
private commercial, industrial, institutional and residential
projects. The Standards and Guidelines are not, however, intended
to dictate planting requirements for individual private residential
properties. While the plant lists and planting methods included in
the document may prove useful to homeowners, they are not to be
enforced as the only list of plants or methods acceptable to the
City. Homeowners will retain their own freedom to design the
landscapes on their property, subject only to property maintenance
provisions of the Municipal Code and individual Homeowners
Association regulations.
Many of the provisions of the Standards and Guidelines use mandatory
language ( "shall ") rather than directory language ( "should "), which
is not typically true of "Guidelines." The provisions using the
mandatory language are Standards to be adhered to in all instances,
000142
Honorable Planning Commission
April 6, 2004
Page 3
while the provisions with directory language are Guidelines. This
fact should be viewed in light of the intent that these Guidelines
be adopted as general policies, which set direction and guide both
staff and applicants in the accomplishment of the goal of ensuring a
pleasant and livable community, enriched with desired landscape
amenities. However, in some instances, there may be situations which
are better addressed by a practice which may not strictly adhere to
the guidelines set forth in the document. In those situations, the
Community Development Director may adjust the guidelines to best
meet the needs of the City. The Commission should be aware that the
Director's ability to adjust provisions in the Standards and
Guidelines does not extend to those mandatory items that require
compliance with other City, State, or Federal requirements, such as
Title 24, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and local health and
safety requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The adoption of Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines is
considered to be a "project" under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), requiring an appropriate level of environmental
review. In accordance with the City's environmental review
procedures adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director
determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply
with CEQA. Some projects may be exempt from review based upon a
specific category listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt
under a general rule that environmental review is not necessary
where it can be determined that there would be no possibility of a
significant effect upon the environment. A project which does not
qualify for an exemption requires the preparation of an Initial
Study to assess the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may
determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon the
environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative
Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is prepared. For
many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative
Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental documentation.
If the Director determines that a project has the potential for
significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation cannot be
readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is
prepared.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a
General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15061 of
California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). No further
environmental documentation is required.

SECTION 1 GENERAL
The purpose of this guide is to assist in the preparation of landscape plans while incorporating
water conservation measures, design aesthetics and landscape consistency throughout the City
of Moorpark. It has been prepared by the City of Moorpark Community Development
Department as a guide for use by landscape architects and others involved with the
development of projects within the City. These standards and guidelines include water use
requirements and the City's minimum landscape standards established to create a sense of
community character. The landscape plans must meet the basic criteria within these standards
and guidelines. Items which utilize mandatory language ( "shall ") are considered standards and
must be adhered to. Additionally, certain projects may be required to exceed the minimum
standards to achieve specific objectives. The items which utilize directory language ( "should ")
are considered guidelines, and may be interpreted with some flexibility to meet goals which
result in community benefit. These Guidelines and Standards are not intended to apply to
projects involving an individual Single Family Detached residence, and it is not the intent of the
City to impose these requirements upon Homeowners Associations already in existence at the
time of the adoption of these Guidelines and Standards. The Community Development Director
may waive any guidelines as deemed necessary and appropriate.
1.1 Water Conservation
Water conservation through landscaping offers the greatest single opportunity for water
savings in the urban area. About forty percent (40 %) of urban water is used to irrigate
landscaped areas in California. A water - efficient landscape includes water efficient
(drought tolerant) plants, efficient irrigation systems, proper soil preparation, responsive
maintenance and watering schedules, and reuse of water (wherever possible) such as
grey water, reclaimed or recycled water systems. Water- efficient design can both
reduce project costs and reduce the amount of water usage for landscaping. Due to the
increasing demand for water and the limited supply in Ventura County and within the
City of Moorpark, water - efficient landscaping shall be required in new developments and
existing developments undergoing significant modifications.
Included within these standards and guidelines are Water Budget and Projected Water
Use Calculations as well as a list of City approved plants and their suggested landscape
use. The applicant may expand upon the material list with approval by the Community
Development Director, but all suggestions must meet the basic criteria within the
standards and guidelines, including:
• Drought tolerant planting;
• Limitation of lawn areas;
• Efficient irrigation;
• Proper soil preparation, including use of mulch
• Responsive maintenance and watering schedule;
• Use of surfaces that allow percolation of stormwater, such as turfcrete, gravel,
porous pavements, vegetative groundcover, mulch, etc;
• Surface drainage through bioswales; and
• Stormwater storage for reuse onsite, such as cisterns.
000150
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 7
1.2 Ecological Viability
The landscape plans should incorporate sensible conservation of public resources,
including water, soil, biodiversity, energy resources, air quality, agricultural, recreational
and wildlife open space, and other such resources in the public interest. Judicious
conservation is cost - effective in both project construction and maintenance. Landscape
plans that incorporate conservation also integrate with the character of the City's
community and environs. The applicant is encouraged to take full advantage of the wide
range of possibilities in design and technology within the framework established by this
guide.
A list of invasive and prohibited plants is provided (Attachment III). The Community
Development Director or his /her designee may allow usage of select plants on this list in
landscape areas that do not interface with sensitive ecological zones.
Methods of increasing ecological viability include:
• Reduced disturbance of soil and natural terrain through minimizing grading and
working with the natural topography as much as possible;
• Narrower road design and layouts with shorter road lengths, to reduce
infrastructure costs and impermeable surfaces, as well as to increase opportunity
to conserve natural resources, viewsheds and other space- requiring amenities in
newly developed areas;
• Native topsoil conservation and renewal, by saving topsoil and replacing it after
grading, by re- vegetating with native plants, and other landscape regeneration
methods;
• Minimization of runoff via on -site stormwater retention /infiltration through open -
bottom and vegetated swales and /or detention /retention basins, and other
aesthetically enriching project amenities;
• Slope stabilization with appropriate vegetation;
• Use of drought - tolerant non - invasive native plants adjacent to designated natural
resource areas and waterways;
• Use of recycled materials of local origin for hardscaping, mulching and /or soil
amendments;
• Protection of viewsheds and open space areas; and
• Multiple uses for landscapes, such as stormwater parks, to maximize available
land area and natural resources, and to increase the quality of public service or
economic opportunity.
1.3 Development of Community Character
It is the intent of these standards and guidelines to provide a sense of community
character that is compatible with the City's culture and environment, and to strengthen
the perception of the community as a unique place. The aim of community character
development is to create and enhance a community identity, to increase the enjoyment
and sense of community among the public, and to enhance the image of the community
as a desirable place to live, work and shop.
000151.
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 8
a. Design with consistency and maintain a high standard of aesthetics:
1. Design elements should compliment the architectural theme.
2. Private and public uses should be visually separate, but aesthetically
consistent.
3. Public and Private streets should take on an individual appearance with a
common street tree and design intent.
4. Landscape areas and streetscape should include `surprises' such as a
large focal tree.
b. Introduce design ideas that compliment the City's cultural heritage and natural
history such as:
1. ranch' style and early Spanish architecture;
2. natural landscape elements such as native trees and shrubs;
3. natural building material such as river rock and boulders;
4. the City's agricultural heritage;
5. the railroad;
6. the arroyo; and
7. local chaparral and riparian plant communities.
C. Integrate conservation and efficiency whenever possible, to enhance enjoyment
of the unique characteristics of the area, such as:
1. mild, sunny climate;
2. maritime weather patterns;
3. distinctive shape of the existing terrain;
4. viewsheds;
5. beauty of local natural history; and
6. local building materials.
1.4 Public Access and Enjoyment
The landscape plans shall meet all Title 24 and ADA accessibility requirements as well
as all applicable codes for fire and building in order to promote health, safety and
community welfare. The intent of these standards and guidelines is to universally
provide safe access for use and enjoyment, on new projects and on modifications of
existing projects.
a. ADA accessibility and Title 24 requirements shall be incorporated for public,
commercial and industrial projects, for both new projects and modification of
existing projects.
b. Landscapes shall be viable, functional and attractive, to provide universal
access, use and enjoyment. Landscapes shall provide for the health, safety and
welfare of the community, through compliance with all applicable ordinances for
fire, health and safety.
000152
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 9
C. In addition to ADA accessibility, landscapes should be designed for specific user
populations as needed, whether for an elderly population, youth, or for specific
disabilities such as blindness. Specific landscape functions and amenities
should be considered. Examples include:
1. raised beds to wheelchair height and reach for handicapped and elderly
access in a community garden;
2. casual seating located along pedestrian ways positioned for "people
watching ", such as benches, steps, planters or grassy slopes, with a view
onto a park, plaza or street; and
3. textured surfaces along pedestrian ways to guide non - sighted
pedestrians.
d. Landscapes shall enhance the microclimate and character of pedestrian ways
and gathering places by adequately providing the following:
1. shade, from trees or from overhead structures;
2. screening;
3. seating;
4. lighting;
5. circulation, including adequate separation of pedestrian, bicycle,
equestrian and vehicular circulation; and
6. attractive gathering spaces with focal amenities.
1.5 Fire Mitigation
A Fuel Modification Plan may be required when a proposed project contains or is
bounded by hazardous native vegetation as determined by the Ventura County
Prevention District. This plan will demonstrate how the proposed project will mitigate
potential fire hazards. The final Fuel Modification Plan shall be submitted in conjunction
with landscape plans prior to review by the City. The final approved Fuel Modification
Plan may take precedence over these standards and guidelines.
SECTION 2 PROCESSING PROCEDURES
2.1 Pre - Submittal Meeting
A pre - submittal meeting familiarizes the applicant with the review process, and identifies
the information and materials necessary to file landscape plans. A pre - submittal
meeting can be arranged by contacting the case planner at the Community Development
Department.
2.2 Conceptual Landscape Package Submittal
After the applicant has prepared all the information identified during the pre - submittal
meeting, the landscape package shall be formally submitted with the required fee
deposit in accordance with fee schedule and signed Reimbursement Agreement. (See
Attachment V)
000153
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 10
Elements to be included in the conceptual landscape plan package are as follows:
a. existing trees and shrubs to be removed and /or protect in place;
b. structures or buildings to be removed and /or protect in place;
C. tree, shrub and groundcover plant palette;
d. street tree plan;
e. general plant sizes and locations;
f. all design elements, site features and flatwork, including elevations or
perspective drawings of those features;
g. project entry monumentation layout and elevations or perspective drawings.
h. walls and fences including details;
i. paving and walkways;
j. color and material schedule. Samples should be included for City to review;
k. all site amenities. At a minimum, the site amenities should reference color and
material (i.e. wood, metal, etc.);
site and landscape lighting;
M. preliminary parking lot shading plan if applicable. Plan should address all four
seasons (refer to Section 10); and
n. preliminary utility screening plan (refer to Section 9).
2.3 Conceptual Plan Review and Approval
Upon receipt of the landscape package, the City's case planner shall review it for
completeness and forward it to the City's consulting landscape architect for review. The
consultant's review, which normally takes two weeks, consists of an on -site inspection
and package review for consistency with City standards as outlined by this guide. Upon
completion of the review, the consultant returns the package to the Planning Division
with recommendations for approval or modification. This process is repeated until
approval is achieved. Based upon the recommendations of the City's consulting
landscape architect and case planner, the Community Development Director shall
approve the project's landscape package.
2.4 Guarantee /Surety and Exoneration of Surety
A surety bond may be required as a condition of approval in the following cases:
a. To assure plant viability at least one year after installation.
b. To assure installation of plants after issuance of a Zoning Clearance by the
Planning Division and Certificate of Occupancy by Building and Safety. (This
would normally be allowed only on non - sloped areas of residential projects where
the applicant is providing landscaping).
If, upon final landscape inspection, the Community Development Director determines
that the landscaping and irrigation have been installed in accordance with the approved
000154
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 11
plans, the Community Development Director may recommend that the guarantee /surety
be returned to the applicant.
2.5 Installation and Inspection
Landscaping for commercial, industrial and residential sloped areas shall be installed
prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the City Building and Safety Division.
The applicant's landscape architect shall be required to certify in writing to the
Community Development Director that all work has been completed in accordance with
the approved plans and specifications (Attachment VI). The City's landscape consultant
will conduct the final landscape inspection after receipt of the certification. (See Section
4 - Installation Verification and Attachment I - Landscape Submittal Plan Checklist &
Landscape Inspection Requirements)
2.6 Compliance
Discretionary development permits may be conditioned for follow -up inspections to verify
a maintenance program, water management auditing, or compliance with environmental
mitigation measures. Failure by the applicant, successor in interest, or homeowner's
association to maintain installed common area landscaping and /or irrigation systems will
constitute a violation of the Conditions of Approval and /or Mitigation Measures of the
development permit.
SECTION 3 PLAN SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
The project's landscape package shall be prepared by a California Registered

will determine the design of the irrigation system. The irrigation system shall deliver
water efficiently and uniformly. All equipment shall be designed for installation per
manufacturer's recommendation, and conform to Uniform Plumbing Codes and all local
regulations.
a. When considering design alternatives, the following criteria shall be utilized:
1. Head -to -head coverage: The irrigation design shall provide adequate
"head -to- head" and sufficient water for the continued healthy growth of all
proposed plantings with a minimum of waste or overspray on adjoining
areas.
2. Reduced Pressure Backflow Device: Notation shall be on the landscape
plan that the backflow device must be tested at a minimum of once a
year. All backflow devices shall be installed in a mesh enclosure with
green or tan powder coating.
3. Uniform distribution: The distribution of uniformity of an installed sprinkler
system shall meet or exceed seventy percent (70 %).
4. Controllers: Automatic irrigation controllers are required with separate
programs for each landscape area with a different irrigation need.
Controllers shall be capable of controlling the operating time for each
circuit, the starting time and daily schedule of operation. Each controller
must be able to accommodate multiple schedules and contain fourteen
(14) -day minimum clocks; percentage switches; repeat cycles; the ability
to schedule by the day of the week; and rain sensing override devices. A
watering schedule shall be placed in each controller.
5. Soil moisture sensors: Soil moisture sensing devices are suggested in
representative areas of the landscape plan.
6. Point irrigation: Drip emitters and bubblers are recommended for trees
and shrubs.
7. Runoff and overspray: Soil types and percolation rate shall be considered
when designing irrigation systems. All irrigation systems shall be
designed to avoid runoff, low head drainage, overspray, or other similar
conditions where water flows onto adjacent areas, walks, roadways, or
000158
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 15
structures. The water application rate shall attempt to match the
infiltration rate of the soil. Repeat cycles shall be utilized in an effort to
avoid runoff. Sprinkler heads should be properly located to minimize
landscape water overspray or runoff onto hardscape, unplanted areas, or
areas of dissimilar water needs.
8. Quick couplers: Quick couplers or hose bibs are required at one - hundred
foot (100') intervals throughout the project.
9. Sprinkler heads: Sprinkler heads shall be selected for proper area
coverage, precipitation rate, operating pressure, adjustment capability,
and ease of maintenance. Heads or emitters shall have matched
precipitation rates within ten percent (10 %) for each control valve circuit.
Above ground risers are not allowed next to sidewalks, driveways, or
curbs and are discouraged anywhere people can easily access; these
sprinklers must be the pop -up type. In areas less than six feet wide, drip
emitters and bubblers are recommended.
10. Rain sensing override devices: Rain sensing override devices are
required on all irrigation systems.
11. Back -up System: The irrigation system shall be installed with a back -up
system should an operating valve fail to shutoff or a break in the mainline
occurs. The back up system should either consist of a normally open
master valve with flow meter or a normally closed master valve. On large
irrigation systems, a normally open master valve with flow meter will be
required.
12. Piping: Plastic (PVC) mainline piping requires placement not less than 18"
below final grade and minimum twenty -four inches (24 ") below finish
surface of streets, with lateral lines requiring 12" depth. UVR (Ultra Violet
Resistant) above ground pipe shall only be installed on slope areas.

shall be kept in each controller.
SECTION 5 CONTINUED COMPLIANCE REQUIRED
The applicant, successor in interest, or homeowner's association shall maintain installed
landscaping and efficient irrigation systems in compliance with the Conditions of
Approval and /or Mitigation Measures of the development permit.
SECTION 6 WATER BUDGET AND PROJECTED WATER USE CALCULATIONS
Each landscape plan must have a water budget and projected water use calculations.
Each project site is allowed a certain amount of water based upon the climate of the site
and the total square footage of the planting area. Any plant can be used, provided the
combined projected water use of all the plants does not exceed the water budget.
A water budget calculation is based on the site's size and the reference
Evapotranspiration (ET) factor. Included in the calculation of ET factors are
evapotranspiration rates, precipitation rates, a crop coefficient and an allowance for
uniformity. The reference ET factors within Ventura County are available at the CIMIS
website at www.cimis.ca.gov.
The water budget and projected water use calculations shall be submitted as part of the
irrigation plan. The projected water use shall not exceed the water budget. A
reproducible hydro -zone map showing separation of planting areas with plant factors
shall be submitted as part of the landscape package.
Areas such as parks, golf courses or school yards where turf provides a playing surface
may require additional water. A statement to that effect shall be included with the
planting plan, designating areas to be set aside for such purposes. The designated
recreation area may receive more water than the water budget allows on a case -by -case
basis. Such additional allocation shall be consistent with Ventura County's policy
regarding the use of reclaimed water for golf courses.
Calculating the Water Budget of a Project Site
A site's water budget is determined by multiplying the square footage of the planting
area by the site's ET factor. After you have determined how much water is in your
budget, you can then calculate the projected water use of your proposed planting plan.
To calculate the water budget of a site use this formula:
Water Budget (GallonsNear) _ (ET) x (8) x (LA) x (.62)
Water Budget = Maximum Applied Water Allowance (gallyr)
ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches/yr)
000162
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 19
.8 = ET Adjustment Factor
LA = Landscaped Area (in square feet)
.62 = Conversion Factor (to gal. /sq. ft.)
This formula is based on California state law (Assembly Bill 325).
Calculating the Project Water Use of a Landscape Plan:
The total amount of projected water use should be less than or equal to the site's water
budget. To determine the plant factor, multiply the plant factor of each planting hydro -
zone by its square footage. Then add the results and complete the calculation of
projected water use for the entire planting area. Generalized plant factors are: .3 = low
water using plants, .5 = average water using plants, and .8 = high water using plants.
These factors must be agreed upon by the designer and the City. If a plant is not on the
list, an equivalency determination will be made by the Community Development Director.
Any changes in the irrigation system or landscape will require new water projections. To
calculate the projected water use of a landscape plan, use this formula:
Projected Water Use (Gallons /year) _ (ET) x f(PF) x (HA)l x (.62)
IE
ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches/year)
PF = Plant Factor ( 1 low through .9 high)
HA = Hydro -zone Area (square feet)
(62) = Conversion Factor (to gallons/square foot)
IE = Irrigation Efficiency (minimum .625)
For the purpose of determining the projected water use, irrigation efficiency is assumed
to be 0.625 or better. Irrigation systems shall be designed, maintained and managed to
meet or exceed 0.625 efficiency. If the plant factors average 0.5, the water budget will
be met at an irrigation efficiency of 0.625.
SECTION 7 PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY
Special attention should be given to the planning and design of areas that are to be
maintained by the City and /or are within the public right -of -way. These areas should
utilize drought tolerant planting material, planting material that is low maintenance and
utilize water conservation techniques without compromising the aesthetics of the design.
7.1 Parkways and streetscapes

SECTION 12 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
12.1 Water- Efficient Model Home Requirements
a. General: These requirements apply to all Residential Zones whenever model
homes are involved. If there are two or more model homes, one shall be
designed to meet the water - saving landscaping condition for residential tracts.
Each "water- saving" model home shall contain exclusively low -water use plant
materials and efficient irrigation systems with appropriate signs and information
for prospective home buyers.
b. Water Meter: Each model in the complex, including the low -water use model,
shall be equipped with a water meter to generate records on how much water the
landscape uses. The information will be used in public information materials
about the model and the water - saving potential for low -water use landscapes.
C. Plant Material: All plants used are to be low -water using types and readily
available in Ventura County or other nearby sources. The plants used should be
attractive, including some flowering types, require relatively little maintenance
once established, and enhance the appearance of the model.
d. Use of Lawn: When there are two models, the use of lawn in the water - efficient
model shall not exceed twenty -five percent (25 %) of the net landscaped area
with no limit on front yard use. When there are three or more models, the use of
lawn shall be no more than total fifteen percent (15 %) of the net landscaped area
of the water - efficient model. The net landscaped area is the gross area minus
the house foot print, the driveway, detached garage, attached covered patio,
slopes of 3:1 ratio or steeper and higher than four feet. Low -water use varieties
of lawn shall be used.
e. Irrigation System: The irrigation system serving a low -water use landscape shall
include a bubbler and /or drip system valve. Any sprinklers shall be located
properly to minimize overspray onto unplanted areas. At least one (1) moisture
sensor should be used with a sign indicating its location. The moisture sensor
will override the controller if the soil is too wet to require irrigation.
f. Signs: Signs identifying aspects of the landscape design and irrigation shall be
placed around the model. These signs should be clearly marked on the
landscape plan for the model. The criteria below should be used in developing
and placing the signs.
1. Entrance Sian: A maximum four (4) square foot sign shall be located in
front of or at the entrance to the model home. The sign shall indicate that
the model is landscaped with low -water using or drought tolerant plant
materials and that an efficient irrigation system has been used.
2. Identification Signs: Small, maximum one (1) square foot, Identification
signs shall be placed throughout the landscaped area identifying the
irrigation system used, the different sub -areas of the landscape, and any
0001'72
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 29
other features that contribute to the overall water conservation theme
(hardscapes, redwood bark, mulch). One (1) sign shall identify the
moisture sensor in the display.
3. Interior Signs or Displays: A drawing or combination of drawings should
be displayed inside the model providing a schematic of the landscape.
These drawings should include a key identifying the plants in the yard. It
is suggested that this schematic also be printed in a one (1) page
handout to be available at the model or the sales office. The drawings
could be simplified renderings of the landscape plan itself, using common
names rather than the botanical names for the plants. The drawings
should be colorful, easy to read, and framed for protection.
g. Literature: A package of literature describing water conserving landscaping shall
be given out to individuals upon purchase of a home in the tract. This literature
and additional materials shall be displayed inside the model, also enclosed in a
frame, with a note indicating where this material can be obtained.
12.2 Private Front Yards
Residential landscapes are those which occur on private property outside the street
right -of -way. These areas are installed and maintained by the homeowner or
homeowner association.
The following suggestions are provided to assist the homeowner or the association in
establishing a well conceived and balanced landscape design with the emphasis on
allowing the maximum amount of creativity as possible while still meeting the intent of
these guidelines.
a. Water Conservation:
1. Turf areas should be limited to one -third (1/3) of the total landscape area.
The remaining area should include one -third (1/3) shrubs /groundcover
and one -third (1/3) hardscape.
2. Irrigated areas should be separated between turf and shrub /groundcover
areas. This allows for different watering schedules to meet the various
water needs of different plant materials.
3. Automated irrigation controllers and remote control valves should be
utilized to efficiently monitor watering schedules. This prevents
accidental all night watering and also provides freedom to leave the
landscape for prolonged periods of time without creating stress
conditions.
4. Irrigation design should include properly sized sprinkler heads (spray
radius) and provide head to head spacing of sprinklers to insure adequate
coverage.
5. Water overspray should be kept to a minimum of one foot (1') to two feet
(2') on hardscape surfaces and avoid spraying on walls and fences.
6. Bubbler and drip irrigation is encouraged for use in small landscape
areas.
000173
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 30
7. Turf varieties should be selected for durability and reduced water needs.
Alta fescue and Bermuda hybrids (with perennial rye grass used as a
"nurse crop" in winter) are encouraged.
8. Shrubs selected should be compatible with the climatic conditions of the
inland valleys (hot and cold) and somewhat drought tolerant.
b. Planting
1. Trees should be selected based on their size at maturity.
2. A balance of evergreen and deciduous (leafless in winter) trees should be
planted to provide a seasonally changed landscape.
3. Shrubs and groundcovers should be selected based on their eventual
size to avoid an "overgrown" or butchered appearance.
4. Foreground and background relationships should be utilized in shrub and
groundcover plantings.
5. Screening (planting of trees and /or shrubs of undesirable views is
encouraged.
6. View opportunities should be maintained as a courtesy to adjacent
property owners.
C. Installation: All planting areas should be loosened to a depth of six inches (6 ")
and rototilled in two (2) directions with soil amendments and conditioners as
required by soil type.
d. Maintenance
1. Landscape areas should be maintained in an attractive condition at all
times.
2. Regular fertilization with a well - balanced fertilizer should be done to avoid
stressed conditions and prevent disease.
e. Safety
1. Water overspray on hardscape areas should be avoided and kept to a
minimum.
2. Pop -up sprinkler heads on swing joints should be used along walkways to
avoid a "trip hazard ".
12.3 Street Trees
It is the goal of the City of Moorpark to create an overall cohesive theme in terms of
street tree design and species selection. Street trees should be incorporated into the
overall landscape theme of the development. The designer shall refer to the approved
Street Tree List. The following guidelines serve to create a visible community character
that will foster a unique image:
Planting Design: Within all residential projects, minimum 24" box size street trees shall
be planted as follows:
0001714
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 31
a. Cul -de -sac: minimum one tree per street frontage (maximum thirty feet (30') on
center).
b. Interior Lot: minimum one tree per street frontage (maximum thirty feet (30') on
center).
C. Corner Lot: minimum three trees per street frontage (maximum thirty feet (30') on
center).
12.4 Streetscape Concept
The Streetscape Concept is the primary landscape framework for the City of Moorpark.
The intention is to establish the theme for each major street in the City. The streetscape
components consist of sidewalks, street trees, landscape areas behind the sidewalk,
and median islands where they occur. Larger specimen trees should be planted at
highly - visible focal points, such as entry gates, major intersections and other landmarks.
Median islands along arterials should be planted with the same palette as adjacent
parkways. A different, but complementary palette should be used along collector streets
within the project and another different, but complementary palette along residential
streets. Each palette may differ from area to area, but they should reflect the theme
which is established by the arterial and collector streets. The designer shall verify final
tree selection with the Community Development Director.
12.5 Walls and Fencing
The perimeter wall acts as a divider between residential and commercial areas from a
street. The wall blocks noise and creates privacy. The treatment of wall can add special
dimension to the streetscape concept. The design of walls should be consistent
throughout neighborhoods of the City to create a community theme. The following are
guidelines for walls which are located along streets, public space, the rear street of
double frontage lots, and the side street yard of double frontage lots:
a. Wall niches are prohibited. A minimum five -foot (6) planter area shall be
provided for trees, shrubs and vines adjacent to all walls.
b. Chain link, plastic and wood fencing is not permitted, except in rural areas,
subject to Community Development Director approval.
C. The minimum wall setback shall be determined by the Conditions of Approval for
the project. Walls shall vary in setback to provide areas for landscape features
that create interest and reduce the linear aspect of appearance of a walled street.
d. Use of decorative masonry block, pilaster, wrought iron and other decorative
treatments are required.
e. Precision concrete is not permitted for walls adjacent to a street.
f. The texture and color of walls shall match the theme of the development or
adjacent surroundings.
g. In residential areas the wall height shall be a minimum of six feet (6') when
located in a street sideyard. Wall heights in excess of six feet (6') shall require
adjacent landscaping on the street side to soften the overall height.
h. Walls over six feet (6') high and retaining walls over three feet (3') high require
certification by a Registered Engineer.
0001"75
Resolution No. PC -2004-
Page 32
The use of vines, shrubs, and trees shall be required to break the monotonous
pattern of the wall. Landscaping shall be approved by the Community
Development Director.
