HomeMy WebLinkAbout11-15-2016 Item 14 Introduction to Ordinance amending Muni Code section 13.07.030 regarding Restrictions on outdoor irrigation of public facility turf with potable water Meeting Date: 11/15/2016 FROM: Daryl Grigsby, Director of Public Works Carrie Mattingly, Director of Utilities Shelly Stanwyck, Director of Parks and Recreation Prepared By: Matt Horn, Deputy Director of Public Works and City Engineer SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AMENDING SECTION 13.07.030 OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING RESTRICTIONS ON OUTDOOR IRRIGATION OF PUBLIC FACILITY TURF WITH POTABLE WATER RECOMMENDATION Introduce an Ordinance to Amend Chapter 13.07 of the Municipal Code to allow for the daily watering of designated City turf facilities during their annual renovations and three times per week thereafter to sustain and provide safe public access to the same facilities. DISCUSSION Background Due to the prolonged drought, and in compliance with State Law, the City enacted an ordinance in June 2015 to reduce the use of potable water in our community. Well over a year into the ordinance adoption, the drought continues and public and private properties continue to be impacted with the loss of turf, vegetation, and trees. As a result of compliance with this ordinance, the reductions in water usage in San Luis Obispo continue to meet and exceed the State mandated reductions. Due to the reduced number of days that City parks and turf facilities may be watered and the limited hours that water may be applied to the City’s heavy clay soils water use in City parks has exceeded 12% mandate. From January 2016 through August 2016 there was a 37% reduction in water use. An Aside: Recycled Water Usage at City Facilities It should be noted that City facilities which have access to recycled water are not subject to this irrigation reduction and have been maintained and renovated to a semi-sustainable level. The two most notable facilities in this category are Damon Garcia Sports Fields and Laguna Lake Golf Course. Even the facilities utilizing ample recycled water are struggling due to the drought. Recycled water contains a higher mineral content than potable water and the absence of rain does not allow the accumulated minerals to be flushed from the soils. Fields at Damon-Garcia, just two and a half months into its season, show unprecedented wear, bald spots, and uneven conditions. Portions of this facility will be closed to users (reducing the number of available fields) as soon as the peak youth soccer season concludes in December. Impacts of Drought Ordinance Many members of the community have removed turf from their yards and as a result are using the City’s turf areas (parks and facilities) in increasing numbers. Unfortunately, 15 months into the twice a week water restrictions, staff has found that the heavily used facilities (which provide 14 Packet Pg. 569 the greatest access to recreational activities for our users) are beginning to fail and will not be sustainable without renovation and three times a week watering. Watering only two days per week, even with the normal weather conditions San Luis Obispo has during the turf growing season, is unsustainable for the growth of the turf. The bare areas in the turf continue to increase in size due to the daily use of the fields at each location. The irrigation for the bare areas has to be reduced to keep water from causing a muddy condition which accelerates the growth in size of these bare dirt areas. When the City was originally mandated to reduce irrigation, the restrictions were to three days per week maximum. At that time, staff found this restriction to be manageable (if heavily used facilities were annually renovated). The application of irrigation was within the soil’s percolation capabilities of most sites without water runoff being a problem. Parks Maintenance Best Practice: Cycle and Soak As a result of the current ordinance the effectiveness of the water application is critical. Parks Maintenance staff are using what is called “cycle and soak”. The primary objective of any irrigation system is to replace back to the soil what has been lost through evapotranspiration since the last irrigation cycle. The longer time between cycles, the more water has to be replaced. Park Maintenance uses a sophisticated program that measures the evapotranspiration (ET) and automatically calculates the amount of water needed to be applied to replace the water lost since the last irrigation cycle. This is done automatically and uploaded to all of the larger sites that have the “Calsense” irrigation control system (37 sites). The “Calsense” irrigation control system is considered to be the state of the art in irrigation control systems and was installed in early 2014 at an approximate cost of $175,000. The watering “window” for public parks and facilities is when they are closed 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Knowing the soil percolation rates for each site is critical. Water stations are run at a maximum “cycle” time (until runoff almost occurs) then the water stations are shut off allowing the irrigation water to percolate into the ground or “soak”. The calculations for cycle and soak are done automatically by the central irrigation control system and repeat ed as many times as possible within the prescribed water window. Each station has a minimum run time requirement to replace what has been lost through ET, but those minimum run time requirements can rarely be reached due to water runoff, soil percolation, watering window and watering frequency constraints. Water usage During Turf Renovation The City’s heavily used fields must be renovated annually when the turf is still in a good condition and watered daily during the renovation. Most facilities were not properly renovated last season due to irrigation restrictions. This second year of water restrictions finds many facilities in such poor condition that without renovation they will be closed to public access for safety reasons. Those safety issues include uneven hard packed surfaces which could result in limb and head injuries. The cycle time for turf irrigation valves during renovation periods are greatly reduced such that water must be applied more frequently and daily so that the seeds for new turf can be successfully germinated. The first seven to 10-days post reseeding for turf renovation are the most critical time period for water application. The City’s irrigation systems in its parks facilities are sophisticated and allow for prioritized and focused watering for renovation of turf. 14 Packet Pg. 570 The total water usage in the parks system for 2013 was 40,706 units of water (each unit of water equates to 748 gallons). The total water usage in the parks system for 2015 was 30,200 units of water. Comparing these two water years indicates the parks system reduced water usage by 26%. This proposed watering revision is estimated to increase water usage in the parks system by 9%, but still meet and exceed the water reduction requirement of 12%. The estimated reduction after revisions to water practice is estimated at 17%. Amendment Sought to Preserve Safe Public Access to 8 Turf Facilities At this time, staff is seeking an amendment to the existing drought ordinance so that the public may still have safe access to a limited number of turf facilities and so that the same do not have be closed and reconstructed in the future. The proposed amendment represents a balancing act of the need to conserve water resources with providing the public safe access to a limited number (defined below) turf facilities. Proposed Facilities Eligible for Renovation Below are the eight facilities which are proposed to be allowed to be allowed to be annually renovated and subsequently sustained with three days a week watering thereafter in order to preserve them. These facilities receive the largest number of drop in uses throughout the year from Sunday pick up soccer games to birthday party softball to catch between parent and child. They are subject to all kinds of uses by high volumes of people. In addition to drop in play, they are all scheduled for permitted uses/play throughout the year as described below. Facility Permitted Uses Emerson Field SLO Rugby Club, Junior Giants, City Contract Classes, Ultimate Frisbee, Eagles Soccer Club, Workout groups; Drop-in Play Meadow Park Field Mission Prep Softball, Eagles Soccer Club, SLO Soccer Club, Friday Night Lights, City Contract Classes, Drop-in Play Mission Plaza Turf Host 40-50 Events per Year ranging from 100-2,500 attendees per event. Concerts, Festivals, Fundraisers, Weddings Santa Rosa Park Center Field City Contract Classes, Eagles Soccer Club, SLO Soccer Club, Friday Night Lights, Special Olympics, Drop-in Play Santa Rosa Softball Field City Softball, Eagles Soccer Club, SLO Soccer Club, Friday Night Lights, Special Event Fundraisers Sinsheimer Stadium SLO Blues, SLO High School, SLO Men’s Baseball, SLO Triathlon, Cal Poly Baseball, Central Coast Baseball, SLO Youth Baseball, Baseball Tournaments & Camps Stockton Field SLO Youth Baseball, SLO Tigers Baseball; Baseball Tournaments, Fundraisers & Camps Throop Field SLO Youth Baseball, SLO Tigers Baseball; Junior Giants, Baseball Tournaments & Camps Ordinance Revision Proposed The following language is proposed to be added to Section 13.07.030 of the City’s Municipal Code governing restrictions on outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscapes or turf with potable water. D. The following public facilities may be allowed to be renovated on an annual as needed basis: Emerson Field, Meadow Park Field, Mission Plaza Turf, Santa Rosa Center Field, Santa Rosa Softball Field, Sinsheimer Stadium, Stockton Field, and Throop Field. Annual renovation 14 Packet Pg. 571 shall include an initial germination period during which daily watering at these eight facilities is allowed for a period of up to six weeks at each site. Following renovation these eight facilities will be allowed to be watered up to three days a week with potable water in order to sustain them. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Ordinance is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(h) (Existing Facilities – maintenance of existing landscape). FISCAL IMPACT Assuming the drought continues, the fiscal impact of not amending the ordinance governing outdoor irrigation of turf will result ultimately in the closure of eight facilities and long term need to reconstruct them. This would require a series of new Capital Improvement Plan projects to rebuild these turf facilities. The alternative of allowing annual renovation and one more day of watering represents a slight increase in the Parks Maintenance irrigation costs but one may be absorbed within the Parks Maintenance budget. CONCURRENCES This report has been brought forward by the Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Utilities Departments in an interdepartmental effort to preserve the public’s safe access to City turf facilities. The Community Development Department has reviewed the proposed amendment and concurs with recommendation and finds that they do not have an environmental impact. At its November 2, 2015 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously expressed support for this change and has provided via its Chair, Jeff Whitner, a letter reflecting the Commission’s support for this change. ALTERNATIVES 1. Use A Water Truck to Deliver Water to Renovation Areas. The use of a water truck has been evaluated as an alternative to the current restrictions on the use of potable water. This solution has a number of conditions involved that have been identified as making it costly and overly burdensome. Those conditions are as follows: a. Rental truck needed. The current water truck the City owns is used daily by the Urban Forest Division and therefore not an option. Additionally, the current truck is only able to supply one complete irrigation cycle without refilling. b. Rental Truck Cost. The cost of renting a water truck to be used for watering the renovated turf areas is substantial. The monthly cost to rent a 4000-gallon water truck is about approximately $4,000. The renovation season for ten targeted facilities is approximately five months long would cost $20,000. c. Existing Infrastructure Alterations. Each location that the water truck would be used would 14 Packet Pg. 572 have to be altered to connect to the truck’s tank. This would require plumbing a connection, downstream of the backflow preventer. Additional valves must also be installed to allow the irrigation system to operate automatically when the truck is not connected (during the night as normal). Finally, driving the water truck within the park to irrigation locations would damage the park. The loaded water truck weight would likely exceed 40,000 pounds. The park pathways cannot support that weight. d. Staffing. This option would require a person to be dedicated for this task. Reallocations of staff resources in this way would be a burden on Park Maintenance Staff and affect their ability to perform daily jobs duties. This activity is estimated to require two hours per site including travel time and refilling the water tank. Assuming a 12 -week renovation period with 10 turf renovation sites, would require approximately 1,680 staff hours. 2. Water Differently. Staff has considered every option for the application of our precious water resources and is following the best practices to apply it in the most efficient and effective manner.
