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?

Is there a definition of what can be counted as a "supermarket" instead of just a "convenience grocery"? What features is a "supermarket" required to have? I have a site which is near several small (non-chain) markets, but don't know if any could be counted as a "supermarket".

I don't think there is any kind of technical guidance on this, but I usually count convenience grocery as a 7Eleven or mart associated with a gas station.
