Waters, Division 2. Department of Water Resources, Chapter 2.7. Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, Sections 490 through 494; and rescinding Resolution No. 2004 -2244 BACKGROUND In 1992, the State of California enacted the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act (AB 325), which required the adoption of a water efficient landscape ordinance by every City and County throughout the state. In response to AB 325, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) developed a Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) that established a set of landscape design standards and water use requirements. California Cities and Counties could adopt the DWR ordinance outright, modify the ordinance to meet specific City needs, or adopt an entirely different ordinance. The City of Moorpark never adopted the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance outright. However, on September 15, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2004 -2244 (City of Moorpark, Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines), which incorporated the water use requirements and landscape design standards outlined in the DWR ordinance. In 2004 the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 2717 (AB 2717). AB 2717 requested that the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) assemble a stakeholder task force, composed of public and private agencies to evaluate and make recommendations In an effort to improve the efficiency of water conservation in 75 Honorable City Council February 2, 2011 Page 2 California's urban landscapes. AB 2717 ultimately updated AB 325 and the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance of 1992. In 2006, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1881 (AB 1881), again amending the 1992 Water Conservation in Landscaping Act (Act). AB 1881 required DWR, no later than January 1, 2009 to update the MWELO in accordance with the specific requirements reflected in the provisions of AB 2717. In addition, AB 1881 requires that on or before January 1, 2010, a local agency adopt one of the following: 1. A water efficient landscape ordinance that is, at least as effective in conserving water as the updated MWELO; or 2. The State's updated MWELO in its entirety. On January 6, 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 383, adding Chapter 15.23 Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance to Title 15 of the Municipal Code, adopting by reference the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance of the State of California as contained in the California Code of Regulations Title 23 Waters, Division 2 Department of Water Resources, Chapter 2.7 Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, Sections 490 through 494. DISCUSSION On September 15, 2004, the City Council adopted the Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Moorpark, Resolution 2004 -2244. These guidelines outline the landscape plan submittal requirements, planting and irrigation standards, landscape design standards, the plan check process, approved and prohibited plant species and the certification process for installation compliance and final project approval. In addition, the Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines incorporate the water use requirements and landscape design standards outlined in the 1992 Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. However, on January 6, 2010, the City Council directed staff to update the City's Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines to ensure compliance with Assembly Bill 1881 and the newly adopted Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The 2009 State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance establishes a structure for designing, installing, maintaining and managing water efficient landscapes in new and rehabilitated projects that require a building permit, landscape permit, plan check or design review and exceed 2,500 square feet or more of landscaped area. The MWELO also applies to new single - family housing projects that exceed 5,000 square feet or more of landscape area. The intent of the ordinance is to reduce irrigation water use through water - efficient landscape practices. In addition to specific planting and irrigation design requirements, the MWELO regulates water -use by incorporating a set of water use calculations that determine a maximum water budget for each project based on local evapotranspiration data (ETo), plant types and irrigation efficiency. S \Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\201 1 \Landscape Maintenance Distncts\2 -2 -11 (Landscape Design Guidelines and Standards) doc 76 Honorable City Council February 2, 2011 Page 3 The MWELO also requires local agencies to review and approve the landscape documentation package based on the following submittal process: 1. Project Information including project type, water supply and total landscape area. 2. Water Efficient Worksheets that include the water budget, irrigation scheduling, plant types and hydrozone areas. 3. Soil Management Report. 4. Landscape Design Plan. 5. Irrigation Design Plan. 6. Grading Plan. The 2004 Resolution adopted by City Council already includes many of the items required by the new MWELO. However, the new ordinance incorporates many specific items required to reduce irrigation water use such as irrigation equipment that utilizes real time local ETo data, rain shut off devices, regulating irrigation runoff, incorporating bark mulch into planting areas and soil conditioning practices. In addition, staff has taken the opportunity to update the Landscape Design Standards and Guidelines to address City specific needs which include the following items: 1. Installation verification for commercial, industrial, residential and homeowners association maintained landscape areas and City maintained landscape areas, including a mandatory 90 -day maintenance period for private maintained landscape areas and 365 -day maintenance period for City maintained landscape areas, including those placed in landscape maintenance districts. 2. Elimination of turf in non - recreational areas within Commercial, Industrial and multi - family housing projects. 3. Parking lot design standards that increases planter island width from 5' to 8' and includes 18" wide decorative concrete step -outs adjacent to parking spaces. 4. Increasing the minimum tree size for median islands and street trees from 15- gallon to 24" box size. 5. Updating the General Recommended Plant List to increase the variety of California native and drought tolerant plant species. The proposed Landscape Design Guidelines and Standards are not presented with the changes made to the current Landscape Design Guidelines and Standards in legislative format due to the quantity of formatting and text changes. Staff has provided a copy of the current Landscape Design Guidelines and Standards under separate cover. PROCESSING TIME LIMITS Since this resolution was initiated by the City, the processing time limits under the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the S \Community SerwceS\ADMINISTRATIVE \CC Reports\201 1 \Landscape Maintenance Distncts\2 -2 -11 (Landscape Design Guidelines and Standards) doc 77 Honorable City Council February 2, 2011 Page 4 Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13, and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3) are not applicable. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the Planning Director determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (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 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 Community Development 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. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no impact to the General Fund. Staff time for landscape plan review will be charged to the developer based on actual review time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt Resolution No. 2011- Attachments: 1. Resolution No. 2011 - 2.

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 - Page R 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 - 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; Z Resolution 2011 - 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 SS Resolution 2011 - 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 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 VI) A. Elements to be included in the conceptual landscape plan package are as follows: 1. Existing trees and shrubs to be removed and /or protect in place; 2. Structures or buildings to be removed and /or protect in place; 3. Tree, shrub and groundcover plant palette; 4. Street tree plan; 5. General plant sizes and locations; 6. All design elements, site features and flatwork, including elevations or perspective drawings of those features: 7. Project entry monumentation layout and elevations or perspective drawings. 8. Walls and fences including details: 9. Paving and walkways, 10. Color and material schedule. Samples should be included for City to review; 11. All site amenities. At a minimum, the site amenities should reference color and material (i.e. wood, metal, etc.); 12. Site and landscape lighting; 13. Preliminary parking lot shading plan if applicable. Plan should Address all four seasons (refer to Section 10); and 14. 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 landscape representative as designated in writing by the City Manager (herein after referenced as City's landscape representative) for review. The City's landscape representative's review, which normally takes two weeks. .. Resolution 2011 - Page 12 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 landscape representative 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 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, residential, Homeowners Association areas, City Parks, City maintained landscape areas and Landscape Maintenance Districts shall be installed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the City Building and Safety Division unless otherwise approved by the Community Development Director. The applicant's landscape architect shall be required to certify in writing to the Community Development Director that all work has been installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The City's landscape representative shall 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). For Commercial, industrial, residential and Homeowner's Association landscape areas a 90 day maintenance period is required, and for City Maintained areas and Landscape Maintenance Districts a one year maintenance period is required upon installation of new landscaping and irrigation to ensure survivability and maintenance of new landscaped areas prior to final approval (as also noted in forthcoming Sections 3.3.e, 4.2.a.2 and 4.2.b.1). 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.

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)] 103 Resolution 2011 - 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. F.TWU = (ETo)(0.62) PFxHA + SLA /F_ Where: 104 Resolution 2011 - Page 27 ETWU = Estimated Total Water Use per year (gallons) ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches) PF = Plant Factor from WUCOLS HA = Hydrozone Area (high, medium, and low water use areas] (square feet) SLA = Special Landscape Area (square feet) 062 = Conversion Factor E = Irrigation Efficiency (minimum 0.71) 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. *Plant Factor from WUCOLS Hydrozone Area (HA) (square feet 7,000 10, 000 16,000 7,000 10,000 PFxHA (square feet) i 5,600 _ 7,000 _ 1 8,000 X2,100 12,000 _ Sum _ 24,700_ ETWU = (5!.1)(0.62)1 24,700 .0 � 071 = 1,102,116 gallons per year 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 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. 105 Resolution 2011 - Page 28 H drozone Plant Water Use Type(s) Plant Factor (PF)- Hydrozone Area (HA) (square feet PF x HA (s uare feet) 1 High 0.8 7,000 5,600 2 High 0.7 9,000 6,300 3 Medium 05 15,000 7,500 4 Low 0.3 7,000 2,100 5 Low 0.2 10,000 2,000 Sum 23,500 6 SLA 1.0 2,000 2,000 'Plant Factor from WUCOLS ETWU = (51 .1)(0.62) 23,500 +21000 0.71 = (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.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS 12.1 Water- Efficient Model Home Requirements 115 Resolution 2011 - 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 Sign: 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. 116 Resolution 2011 - 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 (113) 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. 117 Resolution 2011 - 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). 118 Resolution 2011 - 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. 119 Resolution 2011 - 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. 120 Resolution 2011 - Page 43 ATTACHMENT LANDSCAPE PLAN REVIEW CHECKLIST (GENERAL REQUIREMENTS) APPLICANT'S NAME: PROJECT NAME: PERMIT /ENTITLEMENT NUMBER(S): DATE: 1.

Reference: Section 65596, Government Code. § 492.4 Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet. (a) A project applicant shall complete the Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet which contains two sections (see sample worksheet in Appendix B): (1) a hydrozone information table (see Appendix B, Section A) for the landscape project; and (2) a water budget calculation (see Appendix B, Section B) for the landscape project. For the calculation of the Maximum Applied Water Allowance and Estimated Total Water Use, a project applicant shall use the ETo values from the Reference Evapotranspiration Table in Appendix A. For geographic areas not covered in Appendix A, use data from other cities located nearby in the same reference evapotranspiration zone, 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 The Maximum Applied Water Allowance shall be calculated using the equation: MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)] 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 from the Reference Evapotranspiration Table in Appendix A, for planning 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. (1) Example 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 as listed in the Reference Evapotranspiration Table in Appendix A. 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: 8 178 = 1,108,870/748 = 1,482 hundred - cubic -feet per year (100 cubic feet = 748 gallons) (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. 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. E7111U = (ETo)(0.62)I PF x IF11A + ,SLA Where: ETWU = Estimated Total Water Use per year (gallons) ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches) PF = Plant Factor from WUCOLS (see Section 491) HA = Hydrozone Area [high, medium, and low water use areas] (square feet) SLA = Special Landscape Area (square feet) 0.62 = Conversion Factor IE = Irrigation Efficiency (minimum 0.71) (1) Example 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. I Plant Hydrozone Plant Water Factor Area (HA) PF x HA Hydrozone Use Types) (PF)" (square feet) (square feet) 1 High 0.8 7,000 I 5,600 I 2 i High 0.7 f 10,000 i 7,000 3 Medium 0.5 16,000 8,000 4 Low 0.3 7,000 2,100 It 5 y Low 0.2 10,000 2,000 - - - 1 Sum ; 24,700 *Plant Factor from WUCOLLS 24,700 ETW(I = (51.1)(0.62) +0 0.71 ))) = 1,102,116 gallons per year 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. 9 179 (2) Example ETWU calculation: total landscape area is 50,000 square feet, 2,000 square feet of which is planted with edible plants.

WATER BUDGET CALCULATIONS 28 198 Section B1. Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) The project's Maximum Applied Water Allowance shall be calculated using this equation: MAWA = (ETo) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)] where: MAWA= Maximum Applied Water Allowance (gallons per year) ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration from Appendix A (inches per year) 0.7 = ET Adjustment Factor (ETAF) LA = Landscaped Area includes Special Landscape Area (square feet) 0.62 = Conversion factor (to gallons per square foot) SLA = Portion of the landscape area identified as Special Landscape Area (square feet) 0.3 = the additional ET Adjustment Factor for Special Landscape Area (1.0 - 0.7 = 0.3) Maximum Applied Water Allowance = gallons per year Show calculations. Effective Precipitation (Eppt) If considering Effective Precipitation, use 25% of annual precipitation. Use the following equation to calculate Maximum Applied Water Allowance: MAWA= (ETo — Eppt) (0.62) [(0.7 x LA) + (0.3 x SLA)] Maximum Applied Water Allowance = gallons per year Show calculations. 29 199 Section B2. Estimated Total Water Use (ETWU) The project's Estimated Total Water Use is calculated using the following formula: ETWU = (ETo)(0.62) P x A + SLAI J where: ETWU = Estimated total water use per year (gallons per year) ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration (inches per year) PF = Plant Factor from WUCOLS (see Definitions) HA = Hydrozone Area [high, medium, and low water use areas] (square feet) SLA = Special Landscape Area (square feet) 0.62 = Conversion Factor (to gallons per square foot) IE = Irrigation Efficiency (minimum 0.71) Hydrozone Table for Calculating ETWU Please complete the hydrozone table(s).
