Policy 6.1.7: [re-numbered to reflect merger of Ordinance No.2002-32 and 2002-54]The County
shall require native vegetation to be incorporated into landscape designs in order to promote the
preservation of native plant communities and to encourage water conservation. This shall be
accomplished by:
(1) Providing incentives for retaining existing native vegetation in landscaped areas;
(2) Establishing minimum native vegetation requirements for new landscaping; and,
(3) Wet detention ponds within the Urban Designated area shall have a littoral shelf with an area
equal to 2.50%of the ponds surface area measured at the control elevation and be planted with
native aquatic vegetation. Wet detention ponds within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District,
shall have a littoral shelf with an area equal to 30%of the ponds surface area measured at the
control elevation and be planted with native aquatic vegetation.

Element, the total littoral planting shelf area may be reduced to 10%of the wet detention
pond surface area. Littoral planting shelf areas may be provided in one or more larger
aggregated littoral planting areas, if it is determined during the permitting process that doing
so will provide greater habitat value.Two rows of native grasses will be planted around the
entire perimeter of the wet detention lakes to provide water quality enhancement.
