4.18 Irrigation Development. Minimize water requirements through use of plants that are suitable for growing in limited water environments. Provide bachelor housing projects developed in arid and semi-arid climatic regions with irrigation systems Use bubbler or drip irrigation systems adjacent to building facades to minimize impact of overspray. Provide irrigation systems with solid-state automatic multi-station controllers, state-of-the-art control valves, and backflow preventers in accordance with the appropriate building codes. In cold climates, locate backflow preventers in the mechanical room. Where freezing is not a problem, locate backflow preventers within screened mechanical enclosures. Include adjusting turf
spray coverage, duration of watering cycles, repairing leaks, and general maintenance to ensure proper functioning during the maintenance period for irrigation systems. Water conservation is a high priority factor in development of the irrigation design.

Locate these recreation functions to reduce interference from other functions on and near the site. Shelter or screen active and passive recreation facilities to temper wind and other climate elements.
4.19.2 Recreation Structures. Where appropriate, install a pavilion as an integral part of the bachelor housing complex. Pavilions should compliment the architectural style and materials of the bachelor housing. Compliment these multi-use areas with additional facilities such as barbecue grills, tables, benches, lighting, and landscape plant materials.
4.20 Building Organization. Form buildings to make arrival and movement through them orderly and clearly understandable by users (visitors, residents, staff, and service personnel). Use circulation to organize and zone activities and to promote
