FAQs about SSc2 :

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?

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?

Pool?

Does a community pool count as a basic serivce? If yes, can it count as it's own category, or would it fall under "community center" or "fitness center"? (Our project already has community center and fitness center covered.) Thanks!

Unless you could justify putting it under the "park" category, I don't think you could count it as a basic service in addition to the community center and the fitness center. (You could still list it to show the LEED Reviewer you really have a lot of items, but I would number it with something higher than 10 so it doesn't get mixed in and call attention in a sentence or two that you have more than the required number of basic services.) Alternatively, have you looked at pursuing the v4 version of the credit? LT Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses is listed on the "approved credit substitutions" (http://www.usgbc.org/articles/use-v4-credits-your-v2009-project).
