The two elements of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall illustrate water harvesting how will meet 50% of annual landscape water demand, as required by the ordinance. 11. Coordinate the Landscape Plan, Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan and the Civil Grading Plans to have identical basin size, grades/percent slopes, spot elevations and curb cut inlet and outlet locations. 12. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the site into all landscape areas, including the street landscape borders and planting islands for the required trees in the parking area. 13. A separate irrigation water meter is required. Please label irrigation meter as “irrigation only”. See TSM 4-01.6.0. Or see City of Tucson Ordinance 10597 -- Sec. 6-182.
