Option 1 for the Onsite Carbon Sequestration Through Plantings pilot credit requires showing the amount of CO2 sequestered by all trees and shrubs on the proposed site is at a minimum a 10% increase from the baseline site.
If the baseline site does not have any trees or shrubs, is there a minimum of CO2 sequestered (lbs/sq ft. or kg/sq. m) that needs to be met? Or is any increase over the zero CO2 sequestered on the baseline site acceptable?

That's a good question. My guess is that if nothing was there before, you get the credit by default as soon as you introduce greenery. Any other takes ?
