We are planning to donate offsite land to a land trust to gain earn this credit. This land will be equal to more than 75% of the previously developed area (including the building footprint). Are we eligible for exemplary performance using this compliance path?

When the offsite option was added with an 11/3/10 addenda, the EP paths for this credit were not revised to include an offsite path. You could request a CIR to clarify if this is possible, but on its surface, LEED does not allow this. Also, given that the offsite threshold is higher than the onsite threshold to earn the basic credit, I would think that an EP threshold for offsite, it if existed, might be higher than 75%.
