a- i. . Mitigation Requirements:
+- Loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting
from direct impacts to wetlands shall be

storage or conveyance capacity on site and within
or adjacent to the impacted wetland.
++ Prior to issuance of any final development order
that authorizes site alteration, the applicant shall

of the jurisdictional agencies.
i++ cJ Mitigation requirements for single - family lots shall
be determined by the State and Federal agencies
during their permitting process, pursuant to the
requirements of Sest'GA () subsection 3.05.07 F.4
below.
d) Preserved or created wetland or upland vegetative
communities offered as mitigation shall be placed in
a conservation easement in accordance with
3.05.07 HA A provide for initial removal of
Category I Invasive Exotic Vegetation as defined
by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council and
provide for continual removal of exotic vegetation.
Mitigation Incentives: A density bonus of 10% of the
maximum allowable residential density, a 20% reduction
in the required open space acreage, a 10% reduction in
the required native vegetation, or a 50% reduction in
required littoral zone requirements may be granted for
projects that do any of the following:
i- l Increase wetland habitat through recreation or
restoration of wetland functions, of the same type
found on -site, on an amount of off -site acres within
the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Sending Lands,
equal to, or greater than 50% of the on -site native
vegetation preservation acreage required, or 20%
of the overall project size, whichever is greater;
+i- Create, enhance or restore wading bird habitat to
be located near wood stork, and /or other wading
bird colonies, in an amount that is equal to, or
greater than 50% of the on -site native vegetation
preservation acreage required, or 20% of the
overall project size, whichever is greater; or
++i- c) Create, enhance or restore habitat for other listed
species, in a location and amount mutually
agreeable to the applicant and Collier County after
consultation with the applicable jurisdictional
agencies.
G7 iii. EIS Provisions. When mitigation is proposed, the EIS shall
demonstrate that there is no net loss in wetland functions
as prescribed above.
5-4. Estates, rural - settlement areas, and ACSC. In the case of lands located

within Estates Designated Area, the Rural Settlement Area, and the
ACSC, the County shall rely on the wetland jurisdictional determinations
and permit requirements issued by the applicable jurisdictional agency, in
accordance with the following:
a. For single - family residences within Southern Golden Gate Estates
or within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, the
County shall require the appropriate federal and state wetland -
related permits before Collier County issues a building permit.
b. Outside of Southern Golden Gate Estates and the Area of Critical
State Concern, Collier County shall inform applicants for
individual single - family building permits that federal and state
wetland permits may be required prior to construction. The
County shall also notify the applicable federal and state agencies

6-5. RLSA district. Within the RLSA District, wetlands shall be preserved
pursuant to section 4.08.00.
7-6. Submerged marine habitats. The County shall protect and conserve
submerged marine habitats as provided in section 5.03.06 W.
Preserve standards.
1
Design standards.
* * * * * * * * * *
e. Created preserves. Although the primary intent of GMP CCME
Policy 6.1.1 is to retain and protect existing native vegetation,
there are situations where the application of the retention
requirements of this Policy is not possible. In these cases,
creation or restoration of vegetation to satisfy all or a portion of the
native vegetation retention requirements may be allowed. In
keeping with the intent of this policy, the preservation of native
vegetation off site is preferable over creation of preserves.
Created Preserves shall be allowed for parcels that cannot
reasonably accommodate both the required on -site preserve area
and the proposed activity.
i. Applicability. Criteria for determining when a parcel cannot
reasonably accommodate both the required on -site
preserve area and the proposed activity include:
(h) In the RFMU District where upland buffers
required by the LDC, lack native vegetative
communities.
(i) Archeological /historical sites where such sites are
authorized by the BCC as part of a PUD rezone to
be planted with native vegetation in accordance
with the criteria herein.
Page 16 of 89
Words struck through are deleted, words underlined are added
vi. Planting requirements for created preserves. Soils
compatible with the habitat to be created shall be used to
create the preserve. Where compatible soils are not
present, a minimum of 6 to 8 inches of compatible soil shall
be used.
Where created preserves are approved, the planting plan
shall re- create a native plant community in all three strata
(ground cover, shrubs and trees), utilizing larger plant
materials to more quickly re- create the lost mature
vegetation. Environments which do not normally contain all
three strata shall only be required to plant the strata found
in the habitat to be created. Plant material shall be planted
in a manner that mimics a natural plant community and
shall not be maintained as landscaping. Such re-
vegetation shall include the following minimum sizes: one
gallon ground cover; 7 gallon shrubs; canopy trees in the
following sizes: 25 percent at 10 feet, 50 percent at 8 feet
and 25 percent at 6 feet. Spacing requirements for
calculating the number of plants shall be as follows: 20 to
30 foot on center for trees with a small canopy (less than
30 feet mature spread) and 40 to 50 foot on center for
trees with a large canopy (greater than 30 feet mature
spread), 10 foot on center for shrubs, 3 foot on center for
ground covers which spread by rhizomes or creeping
stems or which have a mature height of 2 feet or more,
excluding the bloom, and 2 foot on center for ground
covers with a mature height of less than 2 feet, excluding
the bloom, and which reproduce primarily by seed.
Minimum sizes for plant material may be reduced for scrub
and other xeric habitats in order to promote diversity or
where smaller size plant material is better suited for re-
establishment of the native plant community. Coverage of
pine and hardwoods in scrub habitats shall occupy no
more than 70% of the area of a scrub preserve, in order to
create natural open areas for wildlife and native ground
covers. In south Florida slash pine dominated
environments, where fire is a concern, the amount of mid -
story vegetation planted may be reduced to promote the
growth of native ground covers, reduce the threat of
wildfire and to promote use of the preserve by listed
species.
Three gallon container saw palmetto (Serenoa repens)
may be used in lieu of seven gallon containers. South
Florida slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) trees may be
planted in the following sizes: 25 percent at 6 feet and 75
percent at 4 feet, with a spacing requirement of 40 feet on
center for calculating the number of slash pines to be
planted.
Page 17 of 89
Words struek thFoug# are deleted, words underlined are added
Mangrove trees may be planted as three gallon size
containers but must be planted a minimum of five to seven
foot on center for calculating the number of mangroves to
be planted, if planted at this size. Ground covers in
estuarine and other aquatic environments may be planted
as liners or bare root plants.
Where archeological /historical sites are counted towards
the minimum native vegetation retention requirement and
where such sites have no native veaetation or the native
vegetation is authorized to be cleared and excavated by
the BCC as part of a PUD rezone, these sites shall be re-
vegetated with native vegetation similar to or compatible
with the native vegetation in the preserve or on the
archeological /historical site. Re- vegetation shall only be
with ground covers in one - gallon containers unless
otherwise approved by the BCC.
Upland or seasonally wet preserves with extended dry
periods shall detail a method of providing water until the
plants are established.

schedule, monitoring may continue until at least an eighty percent
survival of required planting(s) has been attained.
iii. The soil and hydrological conditions for some mitigation areas
may favor some of the plants and preclude others. Should the
county and /or consultant find that over time, some of the species
planted simply don't adjust, the mitigation plan shall be
