DEFINITIONS
Turf: A ground cover surface of mowed grass. Annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, Perennial ryegrass, Red fescue, and Tall fescue are cool-season grasses. Bermuda grass, [NAME] grass, Seashore Paspalum, St. Augustine grass, [NAME] grass, and Buffalo grass are warm-season grasses.
Special Landscape Area (SLA): An area of the landscape dedicated solely to edible plants, areas irrigated with recycled water, water features using recycled water and areas dedicated to active play such as parks, sports fields, and golf courses, where turf provides a playing surface.
Water Feature: A design element where open water performs an aesthetic or recreational function. Water features include ponds, lakes, waterfalls, fountains, artificial streams, spas, and swimming pools (where water is artificially supplied).
Landscape and Landscape Area: All the planting areas, turf areas, and water features in a landscape design plan subject to the Maximum Applied Water Allowance calculation. The landscape area does not include footprints of buildings or structures, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, decks, patios, gravel or stone walks, other pervious or impervious hardscapes, other non-irrigated areas designated for non-development (e.g., open spaces and existing native vegetation), agricultural uses, commercial nurseries and sod farms.
Hydrozone: A portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar water needs. A hydrozone may be irrigated or non-irrigated.
Irrigation Efficiency (IE): The measurement of the amount of water beneficially used divided by the amount of water applied.  Irrigation efficiency is derived from measurements and estimates of irrigation system characteristics and management practices. The minimum average irrigation efficiency for purposes of this Ordinance is 70%. Greater irrigation efficiency can be expected from well-designed and maintained systems.
Certified Professional or Authorized Professional: A certified irrigation designer, a certified landscape irrigation auditor, a licensed landscape architect, a licensed landscape contractor, a licensed professional engineer, or any other person authorized by the state to design a landscape, an irrigation system, or authorized to complete a water budget.
Automatic Irrigation Controller: An automatic timing device used to remotely control valves that operate an irrigation system.  Automatic irrigation controllers schedule irrigation events using either evapotranspiration (weather-based) or soil moisture data.
Reference Evapotranspiration ([NAME]): A standard measurement of environmental parameters which affect the water use of plants.
WUCOLS: The Water Use Classification of Landscape Species published by the University of California Cooperative Extension, the Department of Water Resources and the Bureau of Reclamation, 2000.
[NAME]: All new construction and rehabilitated landscapes with irrigated landscape areas between 2,500 square feet and 5,000 square feet requiring a building or landscape permit, plan check or design review, or requiring new or expanded water service.
[NAME]: All new construction and rehabilitated landscapes with irrigated landscape areas greater than 5,000 square feet requiring a building or landscape permit, plan check or design review or requiring new or expanded water service.
