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

Non-native/adapted species vs. Adapted species

Our USGBC reviewer commented on the three requirements of a "lawn" per previous LEED Interpretations, one of which read, "lawn is only acceptable if it does not include any non-native/adapted species."  The credit requires we document = or >50% native or adapted vegetation.  

Does the "non-" operator in the reviewer's comment apply to the noun after the forward slash; e.g. "lawn does not include any non-native nor non-adapted species"? 

Thank you,
