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

Diverse Uses - Commercial Anchor in a very small town

I have a library project in a small town - population 739. There are commerical offices within 1/2 mile of my project but none of them have over 100 employees. Has anyone had success in claiming a smaller community anchor in a small community, if the largest employer has 8 employees (more than 10% of the town's population)?

My hunch is that the project just isn't eligible for the credit. Definitely agree with asking, though.

I have presented similar issues to usgbc/gbci and their response "not every credit is applicable to every project".
