Norma, There is some guidance in the LEED 2009 MPR Supplemental Guidance doc released in November 2009 that suggests you may not have to include the city street area in your boundary (nor in the calculations) as long as you can confirm particular conditions are met. See page 13 and 14 that explain when you do not have to have a contiguous boundary (p.13: "Including non-contiguous parcels in the LEED project boundary" and p.14 "easements and leases"). Here is a link to the MPR: http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=6473 Also, remember that whatever site boundary is chosen, it needs to be consistent across all credits and must include the entire scope of the project.
