Chapter 17.64 — WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE
Alameda County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Alameda County
17.64.010 - Authority. ¶
This chapter is enacted pursuant to California Government Code Section 65591 et seq. and is a "waterefficient landscape ordinance" adopted by a local agency under the provisions of said section.
(Ord. No. 2012-43, § 1, 7-24-12)
17.64.020 - Purpose. ¶
The Board of Supervisors finds and declares that it is in the public interest to promote the conservation and efficient use of water and to prevent the waste of this valuable resource while recognizing the values and benefits of landscapes as essential to the quality of life in California. Landscapes provide areas for active and passive recreation and enhance the environment by cleaning air and water, preventing erosion, offering fire protection, and replacing ecosystems lost to development. The purpose of the regulations set forth in this chapter is to establish a structure for planning, designing, installing, maintaining and managing water efficient landscapes in new construction and rehabilitated projects and establish provisions for water management practices and water waste prevention for existing landscapes. To the extent that a conflict exists between this chapter and other portions of the county ordinance, the requirements of this chapter shall control.

(Ord. No. 2012-43, § 1, 7-24-12)
17.64.040 - Definitions. ¶
The following words and phrases whenever used in this chapter shall be construed as defined below:
"Certificate of completion" means the document required by Section 17.64.120.
"Certified landscape irrigation auditor" means a person certified to perform landscape irrigation audits by an accredited academic institution, a professional trade organization or other program such as the US Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense irrigation auditor certification program and Irrigation Association's Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor program.
"Compost" means the product of controlled biological decomposition of organic materials, often including urban plant debris and food waste. It is an organic matter resource that has the unique ability to improve
the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of soils or growing media. It contains plant nutrients but is typically not characterized as a fertilizer. (Excerpted from US Compost Council, Field Guide to Compost Use.)
"Drought resistant soil" means soil that has been managed by amending with compost and covering with mulch, for example, to maximize rainfall infiltration, increase the soil's capacity to hold water, and allow for plant roots to penetrate and proliferate such that the landscape can survive with less than optimal water (i.e., less than maximum applied water allowance (MAWA)).
"Ecological restoration project" means a project where the site is intentionally altered to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem.
"Established landscape" means the point at which plants in the landscape have developed significant root growth into the soil. Typically, most plants are established after one or two years of growth.
"Estimated Total Water Use" (ETWU) means the total water used for the landscape as described in Section 17.64.070.
"ET Adjustment Factor" (ETAF) means a factor of 0.7, that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, adjusts for plant factors and irrigation efficiency, two major influences upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to the landscape. A combined plant mix with a site-wide average of 0.5 is the basis of the plant factor portion of this calculation. For purposes of the ETAF, the average irrigation efficiency is 0.71. Therefore, the ET Adjustment Factor is (0.7) = (0.5/0.71). ETAF for a Special Landscape Area shall not exceed 1.0. ETAF for existing non rehabilitated landscapes is 0.8.
ETo. See reference evapotranspiration.
"Hardscapes" means any durable material (pervious and non-pervious).
"Hydrozone" means a portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar water needs. A hydrozone may be irrigated or non-irrigated.
"Infiltration rate" means the rate of water entry into the soil expressed as a depth of water per unit of time (e.g., inches per hour).
"Integrated pest management" (IPM) means a sustainable approach to managing pests that combines biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks.
"Irrigation audit" means an in-depth evaluation of the performance of an irrigation system conducted by a certified landscape irrigation auditor. An irrigation audit includes, but is not limited to: inspection, system tune-up, system test with distribution uniformity or emission uniformity, reporting overspray or runoff that causes overland flow, and preparation of an irrigation schedule.
"Irrigation efficiency" (IE) means 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 chapter is 0.71. Greater irrigation efficiency can be expected from well designed and maintained systems.
"Irrigation survey" means an evaluation of an irrigation system that is less detailed than an irrigation audit. An irrigation survey includes, but is not limited to, inspection, system test, and written recommendations to improve performance of the irrigation system.
"Irrigation water use analysis" means an analysis of water use data based on meter readings and billing data.
"Landscape area" (LA) means 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 non-pervious hardscapes, and other non-irrigated areas designated for nondevelopment (e.g., open spaces and existing native vegetation).
"Landscape project" means total area of landscape in a project as defined in "landscape area" for the purposes of this chapter.
"Maximum applied water allowance" (MAWA) means the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscaped area as specified in Section 17.64.070. It is based upon the area's reference evapotranspiration, the ET adjustment factor, and the size of the landscape area. The estimated total water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowance. Special landscape areas, including recreation areas, areas permanently and solely dedicated to edible plants such as orchards and vegetable gardens, and areas irrigated with recycled water are subject to the MAWA with an ETAF not to exceed 1.0.
"Mined-land reclamation projects" means any surface mining operation with a reclamation plan approved in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975.
"Mulch" means any organic material such as leaves, arbor or wood chips, recycled wood waste, straw, compost, or inorganic mineral materials such as rocks, gravel, and decomposed granite left loose and applied to the soil surface for the beneficial purposes of reducing evaporation, suppressing weeds, moderating soil temperature, and preventing soil erosion.
"New construction" means, for the purposes of this chapter, a new building with a landscape or other new landscape, such as a park, playground, or greenbelt without an associated building.
"Overspray" means the irrigation water which is delivered beyond the target area.
"Permit" means an authorizing document issued by local agencies for new construction or rehabilitated landscapes.
"Pervious" means any surface or material that allows the passage of water through the material and into the underlying soil.
"Plant factor" (PF) is a factor, when multiplied by ETo, estimates the amount of water needed by plants. For purposes of this chapter, the plant factor range for low water use plants is 0 to 0.3, the plant factor range for moderate water use plants is 0.4 to 0.6, and the plant factor range for high water use plants is 0.7 to
1.0. Plant factors cited in this chapter are derived from the Department of Water Resources 2000 publication "Water Use Classification of Landscape Species."
"Project applicant" means the individual or entity submitting a landscape documentation package to request a permit, plan check, or design review from the local agency. A project applicant may be the property owner or his or her designee.
"Record drawings" means a set of reproducible drawings which show significant changes in the work made during construction and which are usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the contractor.
"Recreational area" means areas dedicated to active play such as parks, sports fields, and golf courses where turf provides a playing surface.
"Recycled water" means treated or recycled waste water of a quality suitable for non-potable uses such as landscape irrigation and water features. This water is not intended for human consumption.
"Reference evapotranspiration" (ETo) means a standard measurement of environmental parameters which affect the water use of plants. ETo is expressed in inches per day, month, or year, and is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a large field of four- to seven-inch tall, cool-season grass that is well watered. Reference evapotranspiration is used as the basis of determining the maximum applied water allowance so that regional differences in climate can be accommodated.
"Rehabilitated landscape" means any re-landscaping project that requires a permit, plan check, or design review, meets the requirements of Section 17.64.030, and the modified landscape area is equal to or greater than two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, is at least fifty (50) percent of the total landscape area, and the modifications are completed within one year of application submittal.
"Runoff" means water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to which it is applied and flows from the landscape area. For example, runoff may result from water that is applied at too great a rate (application rate exceeds infiltration rate) or when there is a slope.
"Water feature" means 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). The surface area of water features is included in the high water use hydrozone of the landscape area. Constructed wetlands used for on-site wastewater treatment or stormwater best management practices that are not irrigated and used solely for water treatment or stormwater retention are not water features and, therefore, are not subject to the water budget calculation.
"Watering window" means the time of day irrigation is allowed.

(Ord. No. 2012-58, § 26, 4-10-12)
17.106.020 - Purpose.
This chapter establishes policies which facilitate the development of affordable housing for very low and lower income households and senior households within the unincorporated area of Alameda County, through the provision of a density bonus, and additional financial incentives if necessary for affordability, to applicants who agree to meet the requirements established by this chapter.
(Ord. No. 2012-58, § 26, 4-10-12)
17.106.030 - Definitions.
For the purposes of this chapter, certain words and phrases shall be interpreted as set forth in this section unless it is apparent from the context that a different meaning is intended:

"Amenities" means interior amenities including, but not limited to, fireplaces, garbage disposals, dishwashers, cabinets and storage space and bathrooms in excess of one.
"Applicant" means any person, firm, partnership, association, joint venture, corporation, or any entity or combination of entities which seeks a density bonus or incentives or both under this chapter.
"Base units" means the number of units that would be allowed under the general plan land use designation and zoning ordinance for the subject site before calculation of the density bonus.
"Child care facility" means a facility, other than a day care home, licensed by the State of California to provide non-medical care to children under eighteen (18) years of age in need of personal services, supervision or assistance on less than a 24-hour basis.
"Density bonus" means an increase in density over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning ordinance and general plan land use designation taking into account all applicable limitations.
"Density bonus unit" means a residential dwelling unit authorized as a result of the granting of a density bonus.
"Household" means one person living alone or two or more persons sharing a residential dwelling.
"Housing development" means a project providing residential units including, without limitation, a subdivision, a planned unit development, multifamily dwellings, or condominium project. Housing developments consist of development of residential units or creation of unimproved residential lots and also include either a project to substantially rehabilitate and convert an existing commercial building to residential use or the substantial rehabilitation of an existing multifamily dwelling, where the result of the rehabilitation would be a net increase in available residential units.
"Incentive" may include any of the following:
1.
Approval of a mixed-use development if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will help to offset the costs of the housing development. A mixed-use development will be approved only if the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with the surrounding land uses, the county general plan, and applicable specific plans;
2.
Government-assisted financing, including, but not limited to, mortgage revenue bonds issued by the county;
3.
A reduction in site development standards, but only if the overall quality of the development is not lessened. All developments must also meet any design guidelines codified by the county at a future date;

a.
Waiver or reduction of certain county fees applicable to restricted units in a housing development,
b.
Reduction of interior amenities,
c.
Priority processing of a housing development which provides restricted units. Upon certification that the application is complete and eligible for priority processing, the housing development will be reviewed by the planning director in advance of all nonpriority items. The housing development review will be completed and a recommendation will be made by the planning director whether to approve the housing development within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of the completed application. The planning director may give written approval to extend the one hundred twenty (120) day period.
"Lower income household" means a household whose gross income is eighty (80) percent or less of the Alameda County median income adjusted for household size, computed pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5; if the Health and Safety Code definition is amended, this definition shall be deemed to be amended to the same effect.
"Maximum allowable residential density" means the density allowed under the general plan, or if a range of density is permitted, means the maximum allowable density for the specific zoning range applicable to the project. Maximum allowable residential density takes into account limitations to density pursuant to general plan policies and zoning ordinance regulations.
"Median income" means the median income for Alameda County, published by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"Moderate income household" means a household, with an annual income which does not exceed the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development annual determination for moderate income households with incomes of one hundred twenty (120) percent of the median income, adjusted for household size.
"Qualifying unit" means a dwelling or dwellings designated for occupancy by very low, low, or moderate income households, within a housing development, which make the housing development eligible for a density bonus.
"Resale controls" means a resale restriction placed on restricted units by which the price of such units and/or the age or income of the purchaser will be restricted to ensure affordability and occupancy by very low or lower income households or senior households.
"Restricted unit" means a residential dwelling unit to be sold or rented at a price or rent affordable to a very low, lower, or moderate income household, or sold or rented to a senior household.
"Senior citizen housing development" means a housing community governed by a common set of rules, regulations or restrictions, consisting of at least thirty-five (35) dwelling units reserved for senior citizen households as further described in California Civil Code Sections 51.3 and 51.12.
"Senior household" means as established by California Civil Code Section 51.3, a household in which at least one member is at least sixty-two (62) years of age.
"Term of affordability" means the time during which restricted units in a housing development must remain as restricted units.
"Unit type" means a dwelling unit with a defined floor area and a designated number of bedrooms.
"Very low income household" means a household whose gross income is fifty (50) percent or less of the Alameda County median income adjusted for household size, computed pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5.
(Ord. No. 2012-58, § 26, 4-10-12)

The child care facility or land donation may be combined with an affordable housing development for an additional density bonus up to a combined maximum of thirty-five (35) percent.
C.
Any density bonus and/or concession/incentive awarded shall apply only to the housing development for which it was granted.
D.
In determining the number of density bonus units to be granted pursuant to Section 17.106.040 (Density bonus qualifications), the maximum residential density for the site shall be multiplied by 0.20 for subsections A, B, and D of that section and 0.05 for subsection C of that section, unless a lesser number is selected by the developer.
