Primary conservation areas, where they exist, must be set aside for protection 61.4 as open areas as provided under item H. However, where primary conservation areas 61.5 exceed the thresholds in subitems (1) to (4) as a percentage of a parcel, then only the 61.6 percentage in subitems (1) to (4) must be set aside: 61.7 (1) CA-ROS: 50 percent; 61.8 (2) CA -RN: 20 percent; 61.9 (3) CA -RTC, CA -UM, CA-UC: ten percent; and 61.10 (4) CA -SR: ten percent, if the parcel includes native plant communities or 61.11 provides feasible connections to a regional park or trail system, otherwise no requirement. 61.12 C. If the primary conservation areas exceed the maximum percentage 61.13 established in item B, then the local government may determine which primary 61.14 conservation areas are to be protected, with priority given to the protection of native plant 61.15 communities and natural vegetation in riparian areas. 61.16 D. If primary conservation areas exist but do not have natural vegetation, then 61.17 a vegetation assessment must be completed for the areas to be protected to determine 61.18 whether vegetation restoration is needed. If restoration is needed, vegetation must be 61.19 restored according to part 6106.0150, subpart 6. 61.20 E. If primary conservation areas do not exist on the parcel in question, the 61.21 local government must determine whether any portions of the site have been identified as 61.22 potential restoration areas in local plans, according to part 6106.0070, subpart 4. When 61.23 such areas have been identified, vegetation must be restored consistent with a restoration 61.24 plan according to part 6106.0150, subpart 6, and the restored area must be set aside as 61.25 specified in item B. 6106.0170 61
