FAQs about SSc2 :

Is my site previously developed?

What exactly does LEED mean by residential neighborhood or area?

Only a portion of my complying residential development lies within the ½-mile radius. Will this suffice for credit compliance?

Where do I draw the radius from?

Is one building or residential area enough to satisfy the residential density requirement?

My project has access to services that seem to be basic, but are not listed in the LEED Reference Guide—like insurance company, nail salon, auto repair shop. Will these count?

My project is on a base or campus where some services are available to the population of the project, but not the general public. Do these count?

For Option 2, does the residential neighborhood with average density of 10 units per net acre have to be existing, or can planned neighborhoods count towards earning this option?

What site area should be used for an interiors project when figuring out the density radius? The building site area, or building footprint?

CS-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

10 basic services inside a mall in front of LEED project

Our project is pursuing a LEED-CS v3 gold certification. Righ in front of the project there is a mall that concentrates more than 10 basic services and it's right across the street. Next to the mall there is a high rise residential building. Will having these two be sufficient to comply with the credit requirements under the path 2 communnity connectivity?? I just wanted to make sure LEED allows for having the 10 services concentrated in one place.

There is not a limit on the number of services that you can count within a mall, but be careful here - most retail will not count. The list of qualifying services in the LEED manual is pretty set in stone. In my experience, if it isn't on that list, the reviewers are not going to let you count it.
