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?

Shopping Mall with all basic amenities

Our project is located in the central district and is located very close to a shopping mall with almost all basic amenities located within them. Apart from the shopping mall all the other sorrounding buildings are mostly office buildings.so are we still in compliance with the requirement?

I believe it is acceptable to have all of the basic services within a single shopping area such as a mall. Word of caution though is that most retail spaces do not count as basic services. As long as your 10 services are within USGBC's list, you should be fine.
