Expansion area

Our LEED Project Boundary includes a future expansion area. This area has grown native species naturally. Can this vegetated area be counted towards this credit?

I was wondering if anyone already used water retention agents added in the soil, such as acrylamide in any project and how this was documented.

Thanks!

If my project consists of 10,000sf of greenery but only 3,000sf is irrigated, do I need to insert 10,000sf or 3,000sf as a total area in the LEED Online form (both baseline and design case)?
