Requirements
Establish covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R) or other forms of deed restrictions which state that the growing of produce is not prohibited in project areas, including greenhouses, any portion of residential front, rear, or side yards; or balconies, patios, or rooftops. Greenhouses but not gardens may be prohibited in front yards that face the street.
AND
Option 1. Neighborhood farms and gardens
Dedicate permanent and viable growing space and/or related facilities (such as greenhouses) within the project according to the areas specified in Table 1 (exclusive of existing dwellings). Provide solar access, fencing, watering systems, garden bed enhancements (such as raised beds), secure storage space for tools, and pedestrian access for these spaces. Ensure that the spaces are owned and managed by an entity that includes occupants of the project in its decision making, such as a community group, homeowners’ association, or public body.Project density |

What does it cost?
Cost estimates for this credit
On each BD+C v4 credit, LEEDuser offers the wisdom of a team of architects, engineers, cost estimators, and LEED experts with hundreds of LEED projects between then. They analyzed the sustainable design strategies associated with each LEED credit, but also to assign actual costs to those strategies.
Our tab contains overall cost guidance, notes on what “soft costs” to expect, and a strategy-by-strategy breakdown of what to consider and what it might cost, in percentage premiums, actual costs, or both.
This information is also available in a full PDF download in The Cost of LEED v4 report.

LEED Interpretation
Inquiry:
Projects should be allowed to exempt existing residential properties out of the developer\'s control from the CC&R requirements only.
Ruling:
The request would like clarification on whether CC&Rs can be exempted for existing residential properties for projects that are not 100% newly developed. For NPDc13: Local Food Production, projects should be allowed to exempt existing residential properties that are out of the developer\'s control from the CC&R requirements only. CC&Rs are binding legal agreements that would be nearly impossible to impose upon individual homeowners with existing homes that happen to be within the LEED-ND boundary. Applicable Internationally.
