* Footnote: Any portion of a site within a water body, which is also a preservation area, shall be excluded when
calculating a transfer.
**Footnote: When an area of significant grades contains within its boundaries small fragments of severe grades, the
criteria for development within significant grades may be authorized. (Effective 6/07/01)
Staff Note: Minor changes are proposed to Policy 1.3.6 [C] above to provide consistency with other
substantive changes proposed.
Policy 1.3.7: [C] (Revision Effective 9/19/9; Renumbered Effective 7/26/06) Leon County Only
Development must be clustered away from preservation areas on to non-environmentally sensitive
portions of the site. Clustering development outside conservation areas shall be the preferred option and
shall be implemented through the use of density incentives to be applied on-site.
Policy 1.3.8: [C] (Revision Effective 7/1/04; Renumbered Effective 7/26/06) City of Tallahassee Only
Development must be clustered away from preservation areas on to non-environmentally sensitive
portions of the site. Clustering development outside conservation features shall be the preferred option
except where the conservation features consist solely of significant grades, an off-site mitigation plan has
been approved and no other conservation or preservation features will be affected, and shall be
implemented through the use of density incentives to be applied on-site.
Staff Note: “City of Tallahassee Only” Policy 1.3.8 [C] is proposed for removal and “Leon County
Only” Policy 1.3.7 [C] is established as a unified City and County policy. The only difference between
the existing policies is that the City version provides direction for the off-site mitigation option that is
now proposed for removal.

When there are no non-environmentally sensitive areas on which to cluster on a parcel, the allowable
