The following regulations shall apply to the use of turf on a project subject to this chapter:
(a) Irrigated turf shall not exceed 25 percent of the total aggregate landscaped area for single family residences and multi-family residential projects.
(b) No irrigated turf is allowed in non-residential areas unless included in a special landscape area. In multi-family residential areas turf is only allowed where it is readily useable by residents and serves more than just an ornamental function.
(c) Only subsurface irrigation or other means that produces no runoff or overspray shall be used for turf in a landscaped area where any dimension of the turf area is less than ten feet wide.
(d) Turf and all other high water use plants, characterized by a plant factor of 0.7 to 1.0 are prohibited in street medians.
(e) Turf shall not be allowed on slopes greater than 25 percent grade where the toe of the slope is adjacent to an impermeable hardscape.
(f) A ball field, park, golf course, cemetery and other similar use shall be designed to limit irrigated turf in any portion of a landscaped area not essential for the operation of the facility. Non-irrigated synthetic turf would be acceptable in these locations.
(g) No turf shall be allowed in a landscaped area if the turf cannot be irrigated without causing runoff, overspray or other wasteful water uses.
