Hi !
Are 10 basic services limited to only those mentioned in LEED NC 2009 or can we include other services to target credit for community connectivity ?? Our project is located near garment store and tyre repair which are considered as retail, so will this qualify for this credit ?? Also the project should be located within 1/2 mile to a residential unit with avg density of 10 units per acre net. Will just showing location of the residential units along with photos do ? What is required as proof for the density of the residential unit??

They are not likely to accept any basic services that are not identified in the reference guide, in my experience. For the residential, I usually try to be as descriptive as possible by saying "3-story multi-family apartment complex" or something to that effect so that it is pretty obvious that it meets the density requirements. I don't often see them question multi-family apartments but if you are trying to use a single-family home neighborhood, you should probably take the added step of drawing out an acre and counting how many homes are within it just to be on the safe side.
