<br />Alhefe preser-Nzation of fifteen (15) per-eent of the native upland plant eemmunities on site is not feasible giN
<br />e^ifi^ ^h^r^^teri^ti, The county shall permit off-site preservation and/or habitat creation (t Te for- type) as an
<br />alternative to on-site fifteen (15) percent preservation when on-site preservation would preclude reasonable use of the site
<br />due to site-specific characteristics. In such cases the off-site preservation or creation area must be "type -for -type" plant
<br />community and of a size equal to or Greater than the alternative on-site 15% set-aside. The off-site preservation or creation
<br />area must be contiguous to another conservation area. When an off-site preservation or creation area is proposed, the
<br />applicant shall provide a management plan for the area to ensure long-term viabilitypreserved or created habitat as the
<br />case may be. The manag.ementlan shall be subject to approval b city environmental planning staff. Moreevef, as an

<br />(3) In cases where a project developer demonstrates that preservation of fifteen (15) percent of the native upland plant
<br />communities on-site would preclude reasonable use of the site due to site-specific characteristics, and off-site type -for -
<br />type native upland preservation is not a practicable alternative, the developer Development pr-ejeets proposed for- !an
<br />* of native upland plant ^ ffH+ ~:Mies may, as a last art alternative to fifteen (15) percent preservation of

<br />the on-site community, pay a fee equivalent to (the assessed fair market value of one acre of the project site) X (the
<br />number of acres of habitat type that would otherwise have been set-aside as fifteen (15) percent preservation.). In such
<br />cases the developer shall provide county staff with an independent certified Member Appraisal Institute (MAI) appraisal
<br />of current per -acre fair market value of the area that would otherwise have been set-aside. For purposes of this section, a
<br />"current" MAI appraisal is an appraisal that has been certified no earlier than four months prior to development project
<br />approval. As a last alternative; this fee -in -lieu of native upland set-aside shall be payable to the county prior to the
<br />issuance of a land development permit and shall be used by the county for acquisition of comparable native habitat
<br />preserve areas and/or for management of such lands.
<br />(4) The areal extent of native upland plant communities occurring on a site shall be verified by county environmental
<br />planning staff, based on field inspection and review of a vegetation survey to be submitted by the applicant.
<br />(a) The vegetation survey shall consist of an aerial photograph (or blueprint thereof) or sketch prepared to a
<br />scale no smaller than one inch to two hundred (200) feet which delineates native upland plant communities
<br />by general category (reference section 929.02(1)), and distinguishes such communities from non-native
<br />plant communities and/or disturbed areas occurring on the site.
<br />(b) Native upland plant communities shall be determined using Appendix &A, 'Ecological Communities Flora
<br />and Fauna Tables, of the conservation element of the county comprehensive plan as a general reference.
<br />The Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, the Soil and Water Conservation District,•and the
<br />Florida Division of Forestry shall also be consulted as needed to aid in plant community delineation.
<br />(c) For purposes of calculating the areal extent of native upland plant communities occurring on-site, the
<br />following areas shall not be included:
<br />Areas of the subject property intmdate predominated by any one or combination of the following
<br />nuisance exotic species:
