My question is: What if a LEED project disturbs land owned by a different party? i.e. if they have to excavate in an adjacent parking lot to install utilities for the building seeking LEED. Is that disturbed (but un-owned) land included in the LEED site boundaries? What if two buildings seeking LEED need to disturb the same parking lot, can their boundaries overlap?

Melissa, this is a bit of a gray area, but I would probably exclude that land, because it is not owned by the owner of the LEED project, and because it does not "support normal building operations," to use the MPR supplemental guidance terminology. I think you could argue to include the land if you wanted to, but the cleaner and probably easier path is to exclude it.
