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

Development Radius for EP

We have a project in the city and can easily meet the EP requirements for Option 1. Our project does not meet path 1 for EP but the surrounding properties are dense enough to comply with EP path 2. With path 2, the density radius changes to include a larger area but the LEED form does not allow for a different radius for the base credit and for the EP credit. In other words, how does the form allow us to show we comply with the density at both density radii? Anyone had experience with this?

Robert, I would first check that you have the most up-to-date version of the LEED Online form. Assuming it is up to date, I would probably include a short narrative to indicate that you are documenting EP.
