To the extent practical, plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped together on the same irrigation zones. ❑ 5. The landscape shall be designed with efficient irrigation layout in mind. For example, the dimensions of turfgrass areas should be in multiples of the radius of throw of the specified sprinklers, and the geometry is such that overspray is minimized. i ❑ 6. Steep grades shall be minimized. Where steep grades are necessary, the landscape shall be designed to minimize water runoff and to take advantage of the water that does run off. ❑ 7. Where south -facing berms of 25% slope or greater exist, the plants used should be lower water - requiring species. ❑ 8. Narrow landscaped strips (less than 8' wide) shall be minimized. Where necessary, such as between sidewalk and street, they should be planted with lower water -requiring plant species.
