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 Currently, City staff relies upon outdated guidelines from the County of Ventura for much of its landscape review.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 S: \Community Development \= PMTS \Z 0 A \2002 \Landscape Guidelines \cc agenda report.doc 00013 8 Honorable City Council June 2, 2004 Page 2 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. 000139 Honorable City Council June 2, 2004 Page 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2004- establishing Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission 4/6/2004 Agenda Report (without attachments) 2. Draft Resolution 2004- 000140 MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION 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 S: \Community Development \DEV PMTS \Z 0 A \2002 \Landscape Guidelines \CC 040602 ATT l.doc CC ATTACHMENT 1 000141 Honorable Planning Commission April 6, 2004 Page 2 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. 000143 Honorable Planning Commission April 6, 2004 Page 4 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. PC -2004- recommending to the City Council adoption of Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines.

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 Landscape Architect, unless waived by the Community Development Director. Plans must be wet - stamped, signed and dated. Plan submittals shall include the following: (see Attachment I - Landscape Plan Review Checklist) 3.1 Plan Check Fees The applicant shall pay the deposit fee in accordance with the fee schedule and submit a signed reimbursement agreement to cover landscape review and inspection.

Amendments and recommendations for improving water - holding properties shall be noted. 3.5 Irrigation Plan Requirements (See Attachment I - Landscape Plan Review Checklist) All landscape areas shall be provided with an approved irrigation system that meets the requirements of this section. Specific site conditions and proposed landscape materials 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.

The applicant shall notify the City a minimum of forty -eight (48) hours prior to inspection. Upon completion of the installation of the landscaping and prior to final inspection, the applicant's landscape consultant shall inspect the site and certify that the landscape complies with these standards and guidelines. Certification shall be accomplished by completing the Certificate of Compliance checklist (see attachment VII). Concurrently or afterwards, the City's landscape consultant shall inspect the landscape planting and irrigation installations for final conformance with the approved plans and specifications. The applicant must also employ a certified backflow tester to certify the backflow device. 000161. Resolution No. PC -2004- Page 18 A second inspection of residential common areas, commercial or industrial projects shall be conducted by the City's landscape consultant one year after certification to assure condition compliance including irrigation efficiency and plant viability. 4.3 Maintenance Program Landscapes of residential common areas, commercial or industrial projects shall be carefully and competently maintained to ensure water efficiency and high quality appearance. A watering schedule and as -built plans shall be encased in plastic and 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 The design and layout of the streetscape is not only important to identify and individualize the project area, but also to capture the characteristics of Moorpark.

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. 000176 Resolution No. PC -2004- Page 33 ATTACHMENT LANDSCAPE PLAN REVIEW CHECKLIST (GENERAL REQUIREMENTS) APPLICANT'S NAME: PROJECT NAME: PERMIT /ENTITLEMENT NUMBER(S): DATE: 1.
