FAQs about SSc2 :

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 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?

Multiple services under one roof & sidewalks

My project is located within a half mile of a Target. Can I count this Target as several separate services, such as a pharmacy and a convenience grocery? And, has anyone else received push-back regarding contiguous sidewalk access to these services? (per previous comments) Just wondering if this reviewer-based requirement has stuck.

Hmm, I feel like I should know the answer to this question but I can't recall it coming up before.My gut says you can't count it as more than one service. Or maybe you could make a case to do two, but I doubt it. I think that because "supermarket" is one of the services that is allowed, and supermarkets are so diverse these days, even back in 2009 when LEED v2009 was released.Secondly, diversity is a good thing. If you put too much weight on one store providing a variety of services and it goes belly-up, that's not good. Better to support diversity.
