Pre-Approved Sustainable Landscape Templates

The City of Santa Barbara is seeking a licensed Landscape Architect (or qualified firm) to develop a suite of pre‑approved sustainable landscape plan templates, plant lists, design palettes, and standard design details that property owners can use to retrofit non‑functional turfgrass in compliance with California AB 1572. The work includes creating a reusable Landscape Plan Template, compiling drought‑tolerant plant lists, designing example palettes, drafting technical details for storm‑water BMPs and irrigation, and coordinating reviews with the Historic Landmarks Commission and the Architectural Board of Review. Deliverables must be ready for adoption by May 2026 and the contract ceiling is $20,000. • Develop a Landscape Plan Template with standard storm‑water and irrigation details. • Produce a low‑maintenance, drought‑tolerant plant list and at least three example planting palettes. • Provide standard design details, conduct four Design Review Board presentations, and incorporate feedback for final adoption.
