0 Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service,this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

c. Use of Native and Drought Resistant Plants: Wherever feasible and
environmentally beneficial, landscape designs should feature native and/or
drought-tolerant plant species, especially in areas adjacent to existing native
vegetation, to take advantage of the unique natural character and diversity of
the region, and the adaptability of native plants to local environmental
conditions. Where feasible, the re-establishment of native habitats should be
incorporated into the landscape design. In the same manner,landscape designs
are encouraged to utilize drought tolerant plant materials to the maximum
extent feasible. The use of drought tolerant plants should enrich the existing
landscape character, conserve water and energy, and provide as pleasant and
varied a visual appearance as plants that require more water.

installation of a solar energy system.
10. Landscape Waiver. The Environmental Resources Director may waive the
landscaping requirements of the Land Development Code to the extent
necessary to ensure optimal solar access.

owner and/or property owner of a solar energy system shall not infer or claim
any rights to protective writs to any caused shadows or operating ineffective-
ness against future development adjacent to or higher than the property
location of the solar energy system. The approval of any solar energy system
granted by St. Lucie County shall not create any future liability or infer any
vested rights to the owner and/or property owner of the solar energy system on
the part of the County for any future claims against said issuance of approval of
the solar energy system that result from reliance on this section or any
administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
