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?

Andrea, The most reliable source is the government tax rolls which have to be public. Google Earth has 'Property Owner Points' which will tell you who the tax bill is sent to and the land area. You can then call the management firm to see about how large the building is. You may not get good information from the management company. Try asking for a Green Leasing Agent who will hopefully be more sympathetic to your cause.
