<br />5.106.2 STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION FOR PROJECTS THAT DISTURB ONE OR MORE ACRES OF
<br />LAND. Comply with all lawfully enacted stormwater discharge regulations for projects that (1) disturb one acre or
<br />more of land, or (2) disturb less than one acre of land but are part of a larger common plan of development sale.
<br />Note: Projects that (1) disturb one acre or more of land, or (2) disturb less than one acre of land but are part of the
<br />larger common plan of development or sale must comply with the post-construction requirements detailed in the
<br />applicable National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General permit for Stormwater Discharges
<br />Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities issued by the State Water Resources Control Board or
<br />the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (for projects in the Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit).
<br />The NPDES permits require postconstruction runoff (post-project hydrology) to match the preconstruction runoff
<br />(pre-project hydrology) with the installation of postconstruction stormwater management measures. The NPDES
<br />permits emphasize runoff reduction through on-site stormwater use, interception, evapotranspiration, and infiltration
<br />through nonstructural controls, such as Low Impact Development (LID) practices, and conversation design measures.
<br />Stormwater volume that cannot be addressed using nonstructural practices is required to be captured in structural
<br />practices and be approved by the enforcing agency.
<br />Refer to the current applicable permits on the State Water Resources Control Board website at:
<br />www.waterboards.ca.gov/constructionstormwater. Consideration to the stormwater runoff management measures
<br />should be given during the initial design process for appropriate integration into site development.

<br />5.106.5.3.2 Electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS)
<br />EV capable spaces shall be provided with EVSE to create EVCS in the number indicated in Table
<br />5.106.5.3.1. The EVCS required by Table 5.106.5.3.1 may be provided with EVSE in any combination of
<br />Level 2 and Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC), except that at least one Level 2 EVSE shall be
<br />provided.
<br />One EV charger with multiple connectors capable of charging multiple EVs simultaneously shall be
<br />permitted if the electrical load capacity required by Section 5.106.5.3.1 for each EV capable space is
<br />accumulatively supplied to the EV charger.
<br />The installation of each DCFC EVSE shall be permitted to reduce the minimum number of required EV
<br />capable spaces without EVSE by five and reduce proportionally the required electrical load capacity to the
<br />service panel or subpanel.

<br /> 5.106.8.1 Facing- Backlight
<br />Luminaries within 2MH of a property line shall be oriented so that the nearest property line is behind the fixture,
<br />and shall comply with the backlight rating specified in Table 5.106.8 based on the lighting zone and distance to
<br />the nearest point of that property line.
<br />Exception: Corners. If two property lines (or two segments of the same property line) have equidistant point
<br />to the luminaire, then the luminaire may be oriented so that the intersection of the two lines (the corner) is
<br />directly behind the luminaire. The luminaire shall still use the distance to the nearest points(s) on the property
<br />lines to determine the required backlight rating.
<br />5.106.8.2 Facing-Glare.
<br />For luminaires covered by 5.106.8.1, if a property line also exists within or extends into the front hemisphere within
<br />2MH of the luminaire then the luminaire shall comply with the more stringent glare rating specified in Table
<br />5.106.8 based on the lighting zone and distance to the nearest point on the nearest property line within the front
<br />hemisphere.
<br />Note: [N]
<br /> 1.See also California Building Code, Chapter 12, Section 1205.6 for college campus lighting requirements for
<br />parking facilities and walkways.
<br /> 2.Refer to Chapter 8 (Compliance Forms, Worksheets and Reference Material) for IES TM-15-11 Table
<br />A-1, California Energy Code Tables 130.2-A and 130.2-B.
<br />3. Refer to the California Building Code for requirements for additions and alterations.
<br />5.106.10 GRADING AND PAVING. Construction plans shall indicate how site grading or a drainage system will
<br />manage all surface water flows to keep water from entering buildings. Examples of methods to manage surface
<br />water include, but are not limited to, the following:
<br />1.Swales.
<br />2.Water collection and disposal systems.
<br />3.French drains.
<br />4.Water retention gardens.
<br />5.Other water measures which keep surface water away from buildings and aid in groundwater recharge.
<br />Exception: Additions and alterations not altering the drainage path.
<br />5.106.12 SHADE TREES [DSA-SS]. Shade Trees shall be planted to comply with Sections 5.106.12.1, 5.106.12.2,
<br />and 5.106.12.3. Percentages shown shall be measured at noon on the summer solstice. Landscape irrigation
<br />necessary to establish and maintain tree health shall comply with Section 5.304.6.
<br />5.106.12.1 Surface parking areas. Shade tree plantings, minimum #10 container size or equal, shall be installed
<br />to provide shade over 50 percent of the parking area within 15 years.
<br />Exceptions: Surface parking area covered by solar photovoltaic shade structures with roofing
<br />materials that comply with Table A5.106.11.2.2 in Appendix A5 shall be permitted in whole or in part in
<br />lieu of shade tree planting.
<br />5.106.12.2 Landscape areas. Shade tress plantings, minimum #10 container size or equal shall be installed to
<br />provide shade of 20% of the landscape area within 15 years.
<br />Exceptions: Playfields for organized sport activity are not included in the total area calculation.
<br />5.106.12.3. Hardscape areas. Shade tree plantings, minimum #10 container size or equal shall be installed to
<br />provide shade over 20 percent of the hardscape area within 15 years.
<br />Exceptions:
<br />1.Walks, hardscape areas covered by solar photovoltaic shade structures or shade structures with roofing
<br />materials that comply with Table A5.106.11.2.2 in Appendix A5 shall be permitted in whole or in part in lieu
