FAQs about SSc2 :

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?

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?

NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

ATM Machine

Would anyone consider ATM machine as one of the basic services (Banks), for Option 2 - community connectivity?

I would not because an ATM is not going to sway someone's decision on whether to locate to a neighborhood or connect to people in their community. The point of the credit is to limit auto travel and foster community connections. A bank has tellers and offers additional services like extending loans. I also would not consider a vending machine a basic service (grocery) for similar reasons.

@Wei Jiang did you end up trying to submit this? I had the same question from a client. I realize it is a bit of a stretch but it might prevent someone from driving to an ATM/bank at another location.

Hi all, was the ATM as a basic service ever submitted to GBCI for review? I would love to know for a current project.
