Notes:
1. This chart is intended as an irrigation design aid, related to the City's water conservation standard that
limits the size of irrigated turfgrass area as a function of the tap size. The above values are calculated
assuming peak daily evapotranspiration rates of 0.25 inches for Kentucky Bluegrass and 0.20 inches for
Turf -type Tall Fescue. For the purposes of the calculations, assume that the irrigation efficiency and tap
utilization efficiency are equal to 100%, and the maximum time of irrigation is 8 hours. More realistically,
however, this would be equivalent to irrigation and tap utilization efficiencies of 80%, and a maximum
time of irrigation of 12 hours.
2. These maximum discharges assume a disk -type meter. In certain cases of irrigation -only taps that are 1-
1/2" or larger, turbine meters are allowed, which have higher maximum discharge limits.

Instructions for completing an Annual Water Use Chart
1. Use the Water Use Chart below, including notes, as an example of what the City of Fort Collins requires to be
included on an irrigation plan.
2. The discharge figures for each lateral can be calculated by sum1.ming the appropriate discharge values in the
manufacturer's catalogs for the specified sprinklers, bubblers or drip emitters`i,
3. Irrigated areas for each lateral can be calculated using a scale and/or planimeter._This should be ,a `best
estimate," splitting areas between zones as necessary. For drip irrigation, the irrigated area should approximate
the area actually wetted by the emitters. As a general guideline, you can use one square foot for each perennial,
four square,feet for each shrub and twelve square feet for each tree.
4. To calculate precipitation rate (inches per hour), multiply the discharge (gallons per minute) times the
conversion factor of 96.26, and then divide -by the irrigated area (square feet).
5. The average annual depth of irrigation can be determined by referring to Attachment A.
6. The annual volume of water (gallons) can be determined by multiplying the irrigated area (square feet) by the
average annual depth of irrigation (inches), and then dividing by the conversion factor 1.6.
7. The annual cost for the water is determined by multiplying the volume of water by the applicable water rate. It
is the responsibility of the irrigation designer to find out which water district serves the project, and to make
sure the current water rate is used in the calculation. The water districts are: City of Fort Collins, 221-6681;
ELCO, 493-2044; and Fort Collins -Loveland, 226-3104. I

13. A pressure reducing valve shall be installed on the mainline, or as a feature of the remote
control valves, if it is anticipated that the operating pressure at any spray sprinkler, minus the
maximum recommended pressure for that particular sprinkler, is equal to 20 psi or more.
14. A rain sensor shall be installed with each irrigation system, in order to interrupt irrigation in the
event of a significant rainfall. '
15. When drip irrigation is used, emitter discharges within any single zone shall not vary by more
than 5%. If necessary because of long runs and/or elevation changes, pressure -compensating
emitters shall be used.
• J. • I.. • I ..I � :Y. ii ..' i3.�% 1 •.l ilk.
16. Remote control valves shall have flow control stems.
Sprinkler spacing
For both cases below, the radius of throw is defined as the value shown in the manufacturer's
specifications for the specific design operating pressure for the sprinkler.
17. With a square pattern layout, sprinklers shall be spaced no further apart than 1.0 times the
manufacturer's published radius of throw.
18. With a triangular spacing layout, sprinklers shall be spaced no further apart than 1.1times the
manufacturer's published radius of throw.
Hydraulic considerations
19. Where Kentucky Bluegrass and/or Perennial Ryegrass is used for turfgrass, the tap size shall be
sufficiently sized to deliver 0.25 inches of irrigation water over the turfgrass area within an 8-
hour period. Where Turf -type Tall Fescue is used, the tap size shall be sufficiently sized to
deliver 0.20 inches of irrigation water over the turfgrass area within an 8-hour period. For
special circumstances, the City may allow exceptions to this standard. (See Attachment C)
20. The maximum system discharge shall be less than or equal to the maximum allowable, relative
to the meter size, as determined by the City of Fort Collins Water Utilities. This shall be as
follows: 3/4" - 10 gpm, 1" - 25 gpm, 1-1/2" - 50 gpm, 2" - 80 gpm, 3" - 160 gpm. These
maximum discharges assume a disk -type meter. In certain cases of irrigation -only taps that are
1-1/2" or larger, turbine meters are allowed, which have somewhat higher maximum discharge
limits. Contact the Water Utilities for more information.
21. The maximum velocities shall be less than or equal to 5.0 feet per second for mainline pipe and
less than or equal to 7.5 feet per second for lateral pipe. (See Attachment Q .
22. The irrigation system shall be designed such that the point -of -connection design pressure,
minus the possible system pressure losses, is greater than or equal to the design sprinkler
operating pressure. (See Attachment D) `
23. The lateral pipe shall be sized such that there is less than or equal to a 'l0% variation between
the highest and lowest sprinkler operating pressures on a zone.
4. On steep grades, an irrigation method with a lower precipitation rate shall be used, in order to
minimize runoff. If practical, these areas shall be zoned separately.
5. When practical, areas with significantly different solar exposures shall be zoned separately.
6. Different types of irrigation equipment (drip, micro -spray, spray, rotary, etc.) shall not be
.combined on the same zone. Only drip and micro -spray equipment may be on the same zone.
7. As much as practical, the irrigaiiodmethod shall be selected to correlate•with the plant density.
For example, drip irrigation or bubblers should be used for sparsely -planted trees and shrubs,
and sprinklers should be used for turfgrass.'
8. • The type of sprinkler and associated nozzles should be selected to correlate with the size and
geometry of the zone being irrigated. For example, 'pop-up spray sprinklers should be used for
smaller and more chopped up areas. As a rule of thumb, sprinklers should'be spaced no closer
than 75% of the maximum radius of throw for the given sprinkler and nozzle.
Equipment selection
9. A master'valve should be installed on all irrigation systems with a tap of 2 inches or larger.
10. For irrigation systems that are on a combined -use tap, with a water meter installed further
upstream to measure total water use, the installation of an irrigation -only submeter should be
considered. This submeter would enable the owner and landscape maintenance contractor to
more easily determine water use for irrigation, and would not be used for billing purposes. The
cost of installation and maintenance of the submeter shall be borne by the owner of the
property, and not by the City. All such submeters shall be installed in accordance with the
specifications established by the City of Fort Collins Water Utilities.
11. The irrigation controller shall have a minimum of the following capabilities:
a. multiple program
b. percent watering
c. multiple starts per day
d. enough stations to prevent the necessity of combining zones on a single station that
have dissimilar water requirements or precipitation rates, or exceed the hydraulic
limitations of the tap
12. Sprinklers and nozzles shall meet the following requirements:'
a. spray sprinklers in turf areas shall have a minimum 3-1/2 inch pop-up riser height.
b. coverage arcs and radius of throw shall be selected and adjusted to water only
vegetated areas and minimize overspray onto hard -surfaces, buildings, fences, etc.
c. sprinklers, bubblers, or emitters on a zone shall be of the same manufacturer. Spray
sprinklers on a zone shall have matched precipitation nozzles. Nozzles for rotary
sprinklers on a zone shall approximate a uniform precipitation rate.
d. check valves shall be used on all low-lying sprinklers with 3 feet or more of lateral
pipe head against them, and on all sprinklers along sidewalks.

Irrigation Plan
1. If areas of planting are extensive, the installation of an underground irrigation system shall be
required and an irrigation plan shall be submitted to and approved by_the'City, prior to the
issuance -of a final certificate -of occupancy. If no building permit is required, the planis due
prior to commencing construction. If the water requirements of the plants are low enough to be
met with natural precipitation, and if a means of temporary irrigation is available to establish
the plants, the City may waive the requirement for an underground irrigation system. When
required, the irrigation plan, shall be accurate and clear, drawn to the same as ascale the
associated landscape plan, and include the following: , .
a. an annual Water Use Chart that includes:.the square footage of irrigation zones,
lateral precipitation rates (inches/hour), and seasonal water use and cost. The seasonal
water use data shall reflect the water requirements of the plants identified in the
landscape plan associated with the•irrigation plan. The irrigation plan shall reference
the specific landscape plan, with its date and the designer's name. (See Attachment B)
b. a general note stating the point -of -connection -design pressure and the peak flow. For
example, the system design assumes a minimum dynamic pressure for the irrigation
"system of 75 psi at a maximum discharge of SO gpm at the 1-1/2-inch tap and point -
of -connection. The irrigation contractor shall verb pressure and flow on the site
prior to construction.
c. the design criteria to assist the installer with field adjustments, in a general note or in
the legend. The criteria shall include the sprinkler and nozzle specifications, the
sprinkler discharge at the design operating pressure; and the maximum distance
between sprinklers.
d. a general note stating that, Any field adjustment or redesign of this irrigation system
must conform to the City of Fort Collins Irrigation Standards.
e. in the specifications, or as a general note, a requirement for the contractor installing
the system to provide the owner with as -built drawings after installation is complete.
details of the installation method for bubblers or drip emitters, when the irrigation
design includes these components. It must also include the number and discharge rate
of emitters or bubblers per type of plant material.
Irrigation methods and layout
Where untreated, raw water is available from a nearby irrigation ditch or lake, it should be
considered as a possible water source.
As much as practical, plants with dissimilar water requirements shall not be irrigated on the
same zone. For example, turfgrass areas should be on separate zones from planting beds. (See
Attachment A for water requirements of specific plants)
City of Fort Collins
LANDSCAPING STANDARDS
for Water Conservation
\` 12196
Landscape Plan Requirements
1. The landscape plan shall have a general note calling for the review and approval by the City
of Fort Collins of any required irrigation system, prior to the issuance.of a Building Permit.
2. The landscape plan shall include the total area (in square feet) for each landscape category:
Landscape categories are based upon water requirements. (See Attachment A, A Guide to '
Landscape Water -Requirement Categories) _
3. Mulch shall be used for planting beds. The mulch can be either organic or inorganic, and
shall be applied to a minimum depth of 3 inches. In order to prevent large expanses of
barren mulch, there shall be a minimum plant cover of 50% within five years of planting.
Design Considerations
4. Group plants with similar water requirements on the same irrigation zone.
5. Design the landscaping with an efficient irrigation layout in mind. For example, the
dimensions of turfgrass areas should be in multiples of the radius of throw of the sprinklers,
and the geometry should be such that overspray is minimized.
6. Minimize steep grades. Where necessary, design landscaping to minimize water runoff and
to take advantage of the water that does run off.
7. Use lower water -requiring plants on south -facing berms of 25% slope or greater.
8. Minimize landscaping in strips less than 8' wide. When necessary, such as between sidewalk
and street, use lower water -requiring plants.
Natural Area Preservation
9. If there are portions of the site that are worthy of preservation, the alternative of leaving
them undisturbed or with only slight improvements should be considered: The worthiness of
such sites shall be determined by the City's Natural Resources Director.
Other good practices for water -efficient landscapes, but not required
Have a testing laboratory analyze the nutrient and fertilizer needs of the soil. For most soils,
add at least 3 cubic yards of compost per 1,000 square feet. Rototil to a depth of 6 to 8
inches.
• Consider using lower water -requiring turf and ornamental grasses. Turf -type Tall Fescue is
often a good substitute for Kentucky Bluegrass. For areas where a natural look is desired,
Buffalograss, Blue Grama, Little Bluestem, Sideoats Grama, Smooth Brome, Crested
Wheatgrass or Western Wheatgrass can be good choices. For more information about these
grasses, call the CSU Department of Horticulture at 491-7019.

Water Conservation Standards for
LANDSCAPING and IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
General Information
7/96
What are the water conservation standards?
There are two separate standards for water conservation: (1) Landscaping and.
(2) Irrigation Systems. The standards for Landscaping promote the installation of
landscapes that require less water. The standards for Irrigation Systems ensure irrigation
systems are designed to apply water efficiently to meet the needs of the landscape.
What projects are subject to the standards?
All projects within the city limits that are required to submit a landscape plan to the City
as part of the development review process. In general, this includes all commercial,
industrial, institutional, and multi -family projects. Duplexes are also included when they
are part of a planned unit development. The standards apply to common areas of single-
family developments, but do not apply to single-family residential lots. '
What do I have to do to comply with the Landscaping standards?
Submit a landscape plan as part of the development review process. The plan must meet
the requirements in the document, Landscaping Standards for Water Conservation before
the development plan is approved. ,
What do I have to do to comply with the Irrigation System standards?
Submit an irrigation plan as part of the construction permit review process. The plan must
meet the requirements spelled out in the document, Irrigation System Standards for
Water Conservation. The City will review the plan, and then inspect the system after
installation. The irrigation plan and system inspection must be approved by the City
before a certificate of occupancy is issued. If construction of the irrigation system is
delayed until after construction is completed, a certificate of occupancy can be issued
only with an acceptable bond deposited with the City.
How strict are the standards?
The standards most important to water conservation are mandatory requirements,
identified with the word shall. Other standards are more flexible, they use the phrases
should or to the extent practical. These are enforced on a case -by -case basis.
Where do I get more information? .
Call the Water Utilities at 221-6681.
❑ 4. 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.
❑ 5. 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.
❑ 6. Where south -facing berms of 25% slope or greater exist, the plants used should be lower
water -requiring species.
❑ 7. 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.
Mulches
8. Mulches shall be used for planting beds. The mulch can be either organic or inorganic, and
shall be applied to a minimum depth of 3 inches. In order to prevent large expanses of barren
mulch, there shall be a minimum plant cover of 50 percent within 5 years of planting.

c) Show pedestrian crosswalk locations.
d) Will there be any parking lot lighting?
9. A meeting was held with the Natural Resources Department on Tuesday,
November 25, to discuss concerns raised by that Department regarding the
buffer and Limits of Development line.
10. The Current Planning Department offered the following comments:
a) The table showing the calculation of maximum parking (on the site
plan) needs to be updated as it includes sub -acute care in the calcula-
tion of parking.
b) Please show the limits of development line on all plans.
c) Please include land use data on the site plan, including the number of
employees and the different uses and percentage of each use.
d) Please include a vicinity map and general notes on the site plan.
e) Please identify pedestrian crossings on the site plan, and whether
these are to be patterned concrete, raised concrete, or striped to de-
fine.
f) Please label the zoning on the vicinity map on the cover sheet of the
plat.
g) Please see the enclosed site plan, landscape plan and elevations for
additional comments.
I know we're shooting for the January 15, 1998, Planning and Zoning Board
hearing. Therefore, there are some important dates of which you should be
aware. We will set the agenda for the January 15tn hearing on December 17tn
Thus, I will need to know whether all the staff comments can be addressed by
that date (we won't need "official" revisions by that date, rather, just word it can
be done.)
Our staff reports are due on December 26tn, and, if possible, I would like to see
all changes by the 22nd of December to help me with the staff report. In addition,
I will need the request for modification(s) prior to the 22nd so that those can be
incorporated into the staff report as well. The PMTs and renderings are due De-
cember 29th
I think this should cover all the deadlines. As soon as I talk with Terry Farrell on
the easement issue, I will get back to you —I hope that this issue will be clarified
by the end of this week.
Please let me know if we need to schedule a meeting to go over the comments.
