The director may delegate authority for review, inspection and approval of plans and installations, as well as other implementation of this chapter to the local water purveyor in order to avoid duplication of processes and efforts specific to allowable water use, irrigation system design, metering requirements and other standards regulated by the local water purveyor.
A landscape document package shall be submitted for review and approval for the following projects:
A. All new and rehabilitated landscapes associated with homeowner installed residential uses (including single residential units/projects) with a total landscape area that is five thousand (5,000) square feet or greater.
B. All new and rehabilitated landscapes associated with any developer installed residential uses (including single and multiple residential projects) with a total landscape area that is two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet or greater.

D. All new and rehabilitated landscapes within cemeteries. These projects need only prepare a water budget that specifies the facilities' maximum applied water allowance (MAWA) and estimated annual water use (EAWU), and they must meet the provisions set forth in sections 9.32.060 and 9.32.070 of this chapter.
E. If existing physical constraints on the site (e.g., structures, parking, circulation, etc.) limit the amount of landscaping that can be provided, whatever additional landscaping the site can accommodate toward meeting the landscape area requirements of this chapter shall be provided.
