The LEED Innovation Catalogue for Walkable Project Site requires that item #2, "A main entrance on the primary façade faces a public space such as a street , square, park, paseo, or plaza, but not a parking lot, and is connected to sidewalks.
For a square, park, or plaza to qualify as a public space, it must be at least 50 feet (15 meters) deep at a point
perpendicular to the main entrance."

Our site is within grasp of meeting all of the criteria for the 8 of 9 required elements, however per Ite #2, the primary facade on the dominating street does not have an entrance.  The entrances are on the interior of the block (The Building is L Shaped, the entrances are on the inside facades) and are connected to all sidewalks by paseos and a plaza/courtyard area considered common area.  The whole site however is NOT "public", it is gated due to the high security of the tenant.  It is public in the sense that all occupants with access can use the pathways connecting to the perimeter sidewalks, but not public in the sense that people from outside the site can use it as a pedestrian throughway.

I would like to propose that, for lack of an entrance on the primary facade, we use the facade with the two primary entrances that egress into this beautifully designed courtyard, intended for walkability, but the secured gated site has me concerned.  I'd love to hear what anyone else has to say about this - does this sound remotely arguable?  For all intents and purposes, we have filfilled the definition of "public" according to the credit language.
