I'm working on a very suburban site and was wondering if I can include a hotel as part of the minimum 10 unit per acre requirement?

Hi Robert, I don't know for sure but my gut says hotels cannot count. If you reference the definition of "residential area" at the end of the SSc2 section in the reference guide, it mentions single family, multifamily homes, townhomes, apartments, duplexes, condos, or mobile homes. The interpretation of the credit is also to encourage development in urban areas so it sounds like your project might not meet this credit.
