FAQs about LTc4 :

When it comes to satisfying the requirements for Option 1, what does the "total buildable land" take into account? And the "total building area"?

Where do we measure the radius from? In LEED 2009, we measured it from the main entry, but the LEED v4 language is different.

NC-v4 LTc4:Surrounding density and diverse uses

Combined Density

If a project follows Option 1 - combined density, would the project be still eligible even if there are no residential units within the 1/4 radius? Normally, it should be, otherwise what would be the point for offering the option to use the combined density and not the separate ones instead?

I have the same understanding as you. Besides, if we look at the metrics, the combined density of 5050m²/ha is pretty similar or slightly above the requirements for separate density (17.5DU/ha means about 288m²/DU and 0.5 FAR means about 5000m²/ha). Therefore in terms of density, I think it is equivalent.
