1 - 2 POINTS
INTENT
To preserve in perpetuity undeveloped lands that have important natural
or cultural resources.
REQUIREMENTS
Protect critical habitat and sensitive vegetative areas in perpetuity
by easement or deed restriction.
For all sites:
Ensure protection of the land from development in perpetuity. The land
must be within 30 miles of the project and must be identified by a
local, state, or national government as important for conservation for
natural or cultural purposes. Land for this credit may not be used as
mitigation required by law.
AND
For previously undeveloped rural sites:
Acquire fee title or conservation easements on off-site land that is
equal to or larger than 75% of the area of the project or 30 acres,
whichever is larger. (1
point)
OR
Acquire fee title or conservation easements on on-site land that is
equal to or larger than 50% of the area of the project or 30 acres,
whichever is larger. Area covered by this point is not to be contained
within individual ownership lots. (1
point)
AND/OR FOR AN ADDITIONAL POINT
Transfer development rights from off-site property to conserve land and
increase density of project. Acquire fee title or conservation
easements on off-site land that removes development potential of at
least 30% of the units. It is encouraged to use the removed development
to increase density on proposed site. If present, local land regulatory
agencies must accept the location of the off-site land and the
effective voluntary transfer of development potential. (1 point)
