NC-2009 SSc5.1:Site Development—Protect or Restore Habitat

Future Development

Hello, Is there a signature form required like that of SS Credit 5.2 that requires the owner to not develop portions of the land that is declared as open for this credit? Does any open area have to be declared as open for the life of the building?

No, there isn't. If you think that seems inconsistent with SSc5.2, I would agree. A 'spirit of the law' approach would say that the protected/restored habitat be preserved for the life of the project. Otherwise, there is no stipulation I know of that says the land has to be preserved for any particular length of time.
