d) Landscaping shall be designed to minimize irrigation and runoff, promote surface <br />infiltration where appropriate, and minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides <br />that can contribute to stormwater pollution. <br />1) Structures shall be designed to discourage the occurrence and entry of <br />pests into buildings, thus minimizing the need for pesticides. <br />2) Where feasible, landscaping shall be designed and operated to treat <br />stormwater runoff. In areas that provide detention of water, plants that are <br />tolerant of saturated soil conditions and prolonged exposure to water shall <br />be specified. Soil shall be amended as required. <br />3) Plant materials selected shall be appropriate to site specific characteristics <br />such as soil type, topography, climate, amount and timing of sunlight, <br />prevailing winds, rainfall, air movement, patterns of land use, ecological <br />consistency and plant interactions to ensure successful establishment. <br />4) Landscaping shall also comply with City of Pleasanton ordinances and <br />policies regarding water conservation. <br />e) Trash areas, dumpsters and recycling containers shall be enclosed and roofed to <br />prevent water run-on to the area and runoff from the area and to contain litter and <br />trash, so that it is not dispersed by the wind or runoff during waste removal. <br />These areas shall not drain to the storm drain system, but to the sanitary sewer <br />system and an area drain shall be installed in the enclosure area, providing a <br />structural control such as an oil/water separator or sand filter. No other area <br />shall drain into the trash enclosure; a berm shall be installed to prevent such <br />drainage if found necessary by the City Engineer/Director of Building Inspection. <br />A sign shall be posted prohibiting the dumping of hazardous materials into the <br />sanitary sewer. The project developer shall notify the Dublin-San Ramon <br />Services District (DSRSD) upon installation of the sanitary connection; a copy of <br />this notification shall be provided to the Planning Department. <br />f) All paved outdoor storage areas shall be designed to minimize pollutant runoff. <br />Bulk materials stored outdoors that may contribute to the pollution of storm water <br />runoff must be covered as deemed appropriate by the City Engineer/Director of <br />Building Inspection. <br />g) Prior to grading permit issuance the project developer shall submit a copy of the <br />State Water Resources Control Board Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under <br />the State Construction Storm Water General Permit for projects with clearing, <br />grading and excavation exceeding the current standards. <br />h) All metal roofs shall be finished with rust-inhibitive paint. <br />i) Roof drains shall discharge and drain away from the building foundation to an <br />unpaved area wherever practicable. <br />10 <br />
