SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
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 and landscape plan submittal requirements
as outlined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Waters, Division 2,
Department of Water Resources, Chapter 2.7, Model Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (MWELO) adopted by the State of California on September 10, 2009, as well
as 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.
1.1 Applicability: These standards and guidelines apply to all of the following
landscape projects:
• New construction and rehabilitated landscapes for public agency projects and
private development projects with a landscape area equal to or greater than
2,500 square feet requiring a building or landscape permit, plan check or
design review;
• New construction and rehabilitated landscapes which are developer - installed
in single - family and multi - family projects, with a landscape area equal to or
greater than 2,500 square feet requiring a building or landscape permit, plan
check, or design review;
• New construction landscapes which are homeowner - provided and /or
homeowner -hired in single - family and multi - family residential projects with a
total project landscape area equal to or greater than 5,000 square feet
requiring a building or landscape permit, plan check or design review; and
• New and rehabilitated cemeteries.
• Water quality treatment facilities, including but not limited to basins and
swales. Final review and approval subject to relevant permitting agency.
These standards and guidelines do not apply to:
• Registered local, state, or federal historical sites;
• Ecological restoration projects that do not require a permanent irrigation
system;
• Mined -land reclamation projects that do not require a permanent irrigation
system;
• Plant collections, as part of botanical gardens and arboretums open to the
public;
• New construction and rehabilitated landscapes which are developer - installed
in single - family and multi - family projects with a landscape area equal to or
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 8
less than 2,499 square feet requiring a building or landscape permit, plan
check, or design review; and
New construction landscapes which are homeowner - provided and /or
homeowner -hired in single - family and multi - family residential projects with a
total project landscape area equal to or less than 4,999 square feet requiring
a building or landscape permit, plan check, or design review.
1.2 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;
• Automatic irrigation controllers utilizing either evapotranspiration or soil
moisture sensor data;
• 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.
1.3 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 IV). The
Community Development Director or his /her designee may allow usage of select
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 9
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.
1.4 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.
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; and
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;
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 10
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.
1.5 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.
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
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 11
6. Attractive gathering spaces with focal amenities.
1.6 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 6. WATER BUDGET
6.1 Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet
A. The project landscape architect shall complete the Water Efficient
Landscape Worksheet which contains two sections (See Attachment VIII):
1. Hydrozone information table (See Attachment VIII) for the
landscape project; and
2. Water budget calculations (See Attachment VIII) for the landscape
project.
For the calculation of the Maximum Applied Water Allowance and Estimated
Total Water Use, a project applicant shall use an ETo value of 51.1 for the City of
Moorpark as found in the CIMIS Reference Evapotranspiration Zones Map,
Department of Water Resources, 1999.
B. Water budget calculations shall adhere to the following requirements:
1. The plant factor used shall be from WUCOLS. The plant factor
ranges from 0 to 0.3 for low water use plants, from 0.4 to 0.6 for
moderate water use plants, and from 0.7 to 1.0 for high water use
plants.
2. All water features shall be included in the high water use hydrozone
and temporarily irrigated areas shall be included in the low water
use hydrozone.
3. All Special Landscape Areas shall be identified and their water use
calculated as described below.
4. ETAF for Special Landscape Areas shall not exceed 1.0.
C. Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA):The Maximum Applied
Water Allowance shall be calculated using the equation:
MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)]
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 26
The example calculations below are hypothetical to demonstrate proper
use of the equations and do not represent an existing and /or planned
landscape project. The ETo values used in these calculations are for
deomstration purposes only. For actual irrigation scheduling, automatic
irrigation controllers are required and shall use current reference
evapotranspiration data, such as from the California Irrigation
Management Information System (CIMIS), other equivalent data, or soil
moisture sensor data.
Example (1): MAWA calculation: a hypothetical landscape project in
Fresno, CA with an irrigated landscape area of 50,000 square feet without
any Special Landscape Area (SLA= 0, no edible plants, recreational
areas, or use of recycled water). To calculate MAWA, the annual
reference evapotranspiration value for Fresno is 51.1 inches.
MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)]
MAWA = Maximum Applied Water Allowance (gallons per year)
ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches per year)
0.62 = Conversion Factor (to gallons)
0.7 = ET Adjustment Factor (ETAF)
LA = Landscape Area including SLA (square feet)
0.3 = Additional Water Allowance for SLA
SLA = Special Landscape Area (square feet)
MAWA = (51.1 inches) (0.62) [(0.7 x 50,000 square feet) + (0.3 x 0)]
= 1,108,870 gallons per year
To convert from gallons per year to hundred - cubic -feet per year:
= 1,108,870/748 = 1,482 hundred - cubic -feet per year
(100 cubic feet = 748 gallons)
Example (2): In this next hypothetical example, the landscape project in
Fresno, CA has the same ETo value of 51.1 inches and a total landscape
area of 50,000 square feet. Within the 50,000 square foot project, there is
now a 2,000 square foot area planted with edible plants. This 2,000
square foot area is considered to be a Special Landscape Area.
MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)]
MAWA = (51.1 inches) (0.62) [(0.7 x 50,000 square feet) + (0.3 x 2,000
square feet)]
= 31.68 x [35,000 + 600] gallons per year
= 31.68 x 35,600 gallons per year
= 1,127,808 gallons per year or 1,508 hundred - cubic -feet per year
D. Estimated Total Water Use (ETWU): The Estimated Total Water Use shall
be calculated using the equation below. The sum of the Estimated Total
Water Use calculated for all hydrozones shall not exceed MAWA.
ETWU = (ETo)(0.62) PF x HA + SLA
IE
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 27
Where:
ETWU = Estimated Total Water Use per year (gallons)
ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches)
PF = Plant Factor from WUCOLS
HA = Hydrozone Area [high, medium, and low
(square feet)
SLA = Special Landscape Area (square feet)
0.62 = Conversion Factor
E = Irrigation Efficiency (minimum 0.71)
water use areas]
For the purpose of determining Maximum Applied Water Allowance and
Estimated Total Water Use, average irrigation efficiency is assumed to be 0.71.
Irrigation systems shall be designed, maintained, and managed to meet or
exceed an average landscape irrigation efficiency of 0.71.
Example (1) ETWU calculation: landscape area is 50,000 square feet; plant
water use type, plant factor, and hydrozone area are shown in the table below.
The ETo value is 51.1 inches per year. There are no Special Landscape Areas
(recreational area, area permanently and solely dedicated to edible plants, and
area irrigated with recycled water) in this example.

Compare ETWU with MAWA: For this example MAWA = (51.1) (0.62) [(0.7 x
50,000) + (0.3 x 0)] = 1,108,870 gallons per year. The ETWU (1,102,116 gallons
per year) is less than MAWA (1,108,870 gallons per year). In this example, the
water budget complies with the MAWA.
Example (2) ETWU calculation: total landscape area is 50,000 square feet, 2,000
square feet of which is planted with edible plants. The edible plant area is
considered a Special Landscape Area (SLA). The reference evapotranspiration
value is 51.1 inches per year. The plant type, plant factor, and hydrozone area
are shown in the table below.

= (31.68) (33,099 + 2,000)
= 1,111,936 gallons per year
Compare ETWU with MAWA. For this example:
MAWA = (51.1) (0.62) [(0.7 x 50,000) + (0.3 x 2,000)]
= 31.68 x [35,000 + 600]
= 31.68 x 35,600
= 1,127,808 gallons per year
The ETWU (1,111,936 gallons per year) is less than MAWA (1,127,808 gallons
per year). For this example, the water budget complies with the MAWA.
6.2 Effective Precipitation: A local agency may consider Effective Precipitation
(25% of annual precipitation) in tracking water use and may use the following
equation to calculate Maximum Applied Water Allowance: MAWA= (ETo - Eppt)
(0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)].
6.3 Irrigation Scheduling: For the efficient use of water, all irrigation schedules
shall be developed, managed, and evaluated to utilize the minimum amount of
water required to maintain plant health. Irrigation schedules shall meet the
following criteria:
A. Irrigation scheduling shall be regulated by automatic irrigation controllers.

current allowable hours of irrigation. In no case shall irrigation scheduling
occur before 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Operation of the irrigation system
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 29
outside the normal watering window is allowed for auditing and system
maintenance only.
C. For implementation of the irrigation schedule, particular attention must be
paid to irrigation run times, emission device, flow rate, and current
reference evapotranspiration, so that applied water meets the Estimated
Total Water Use. Total annual applied water shall be less than or equal to
Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA). Actual irrigation schedules
shall be regulated by automatic irrigation controllers using current
reference evapotranspiration data (e.g., CIMIS) or soil moisture sensor
data.

SECTION 12. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
12.1 Water- Efficient Model Home Requirements
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 38
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: The Water - Efficient model shall meet the Water Budget
requirements of Section 6. In no case shall the turf area of the Water -
Efficient model exceed fifteen percent (15 %) of the net landscaped area.
The net landscaped area is the gross area minus the house foot print, the
driveway, detached garage, attached covered patio, slopes of 4:1 ratio or
steeper. 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 irrigation system. Any
sprinklers shall be located properly to minimize overspray onto unplanted
areas. Moisture sensors shall be used with a sign and diagram indicating
their locations. The moisture sensor will override the controller if the soil is
too wet to require irrigation. The irrigation controller shall utilize real time
evapotranspiration data.
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 Siqn: 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 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.
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 39
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 home, 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. Front yard landscapes that are maintained by a
homeowners association shall meet the requirements of Section 8. In addition,
homeowners association maintained landscape areas or private maintained
landscape areas that exceed five thousand (5,000) square feet, shall meet the
Water Budget requirements of Section 6.
The following suggestions are provided to assist the homeowner 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.
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 40
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 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:
A. Planting Design: Within all residential projects, minimum 24" box size street trees
shall be planted as follows:
1. Cul -de -sac: minimum one tree per street frontage (maximum thirty feet (30')
on center).
2. Interior Lot: minimum one tree per street frontage (maximum thirty feet (30')
on center).
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 41
3. 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 (5') 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 side yard. 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.
Resolution 2011 -2996
Page 42
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.
