Hi Parker,
My understanding is that when you fill in the Site Assessment Worksheet template from USGBC (or when you are compiling your own report), you would just need to indicate any of the topics that aren't applicable to your project site. For example, vegetation might not be relevant to a zero lot line urban project, so that would be marked "N/A" with an explanation of the existing conditions. However, climate, views, human use, and human health impacts would still be valuable to evaluate. Even if you have minimal control over the building exterior, this information could help decide what existing conditions to encourage and which ones to remediate.
