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?

NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

Basic Services Provided by the Client

We have purchased an old factory and currently renovating the buildings to accommodate 2,000 workers. This was an abandoned place and no basic services available. The developer agrees to construct and provide 10 basic services close to the main entrance and these services would be available to outsiders as well. Would this be accepted by LEED? Regards, KC

Are these 10 services within the project itself or would they be separate facilities not part of this project? There' a limit of how many of the services can be within the project itself (only 1). Otherwise, when would the developer have these services up and running, because at least eight have to be up and running by the time the LEED project is competed. (The other two are allowed to be anticipated within a year of the LEED Project's opening.)

Hi Michelle, These 10 services would be located within the owners property; but outside the LEED Boundary of this LEED-NC building. These services would be ready by the completion of the project. KC

If all 10 services are outside your LEED project and will be up and running by the time your LEED project is completed, then they should be fine! (Assuming of course they are within the distance requirement and you can walk to get there...) Just don't forget about the residential requirement (min. equivalent of 10 units per acre). Good luck!
