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?

We have a bus stop right outside our door and a second route a mere .32 miles away, will that be acceptable, how hard and fast is the 1/4 mile rule? We are only talking 380' which is only 8 houses in my neighborhood.

It depends - you might be able to argue the level of transit service is equivalent, but you need a lot of data to make that case. See several discussions posted under CI 2009 SSc3.1 and NC 2009 SSc4.1. Hope that helps!
