<br />Program 5.1: Prohibit water production policies and practices which would deplete <br />groundwater resources below existing sustainable levels. <br /> <br />Program 5.2: Foster water conservation practices which do not allow depletion of <br />groundwater and surface water resources to the extent that they cannot be replaced within <br />the same "water season." <br /> <br />Program 5.3: Support Zone 7 Water Agency in water production and procurement <br />practices that do not negatively impact the environment. <br /> <br />Program 5.4: Work with Zone 7 Water Agency to investigate innovative and more <br />efficient ways to recharge aquifers and other groundwater resources. <br /> <br />Program 5.5: Utilize cost-effective water reclamation techniques for the purpose of water <br />conservation rather than as a new source of water which must be used to sustain new and <br />existing development, where these techniques can be implemented without degrading <br />surface water and groundwater quality. <br /> <br />Goal 4: Reduce stormwater runoff and maximize infiltration of naturally-occurring rainwater so as <br />to improve surface and subsurface water quality. <br /> <br />Policy 6: Encourage a built environment that minimizes impervious surfaces. <br /> <br />Program 6.1: Require planter strips between the street and the sidewalk within the <br />community, wherever practical and feasible. <br /> <br />Program 6.2: Encourage design and construction of new streets to be the minimum width <br />possible while still meeting all circulation, flow, and safety requirements. Encourage <br />parking pullouts adjacent to landscaping and pervious surfaces, where practical and <br />feasible. <br /> <br />Program 6.3: Encourage pervious materials (i.e., grass and concrete strips, decomposed <br />granite, porous pavers) to be used for single-family-home driveways. <br /> <br />Program 6.4: Encourage pervious concrete and other similar paving materials in parking <br />lots and private driveways. <br /> <br />Program 6.5: Reduce parking ratios for transit-oriented development. <br /> <br />Program 6.6: Discourage additional parking over and above required minimum parking <br />standards for any land use, unless the developer can demonstrate a need for additional <br />parking. <br /> <br />Program 6.7: Encourage multi-story parking garages when practical to limit the land area <br /> <br />covered by parking. <br /> <br />Con os Element, CC 082906, dean <br /> <br />VII-38 <br /> <br />City Council 8/29/2006 <br />
