Integrating and incorporating <br />appropriate landscape planning methodologies into the project design is the most effective <br />action that can be done to minimize surface and groundwater contamination from stormwater. <br />Approach <br />Landscape planning should couple consideration of land suitability for urban uses with <br />consideration of community goals and projected growth. Project plan designs should conserve <br />natural areas to the extent possible, maximize natural water storage and infiltration <br />opportunities, and protect slopes and channels. <br />Suitable Applications <br />Appropriate applications include residential, commercial and industrial areas planned for <br />development or redevelopment. <br />Design Considerations <br />Design requirements for site design and landscapes planning <br />should conform to applicable standards and specifications of <br />agencies with jurisdiction and be consistent with applicable <br />General Plan and Local Area Plan policies. <br />CALFORn1A5 ORNv ATER <br />_ .I Ili i, I'.l li <br />January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 4 <br />New Development and Redevelopment <br />www.cabmphandbooks.com <br />
