FAQs about SSc2 :

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?

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?

We have recently received final design review for our CI project, but the reviewer has denied SS Credit 2 Development density because of just figure not mentioned for residential district density. We had adopted option2 of community connectivity, we had marked nearby two residential districts, but actual per acre net density not mentioned due to non availability of information. Because of this reviewer has denied credit. Please anyone suggest how can we get this credit, or can we submit this credit again in construction preliminary review submission??

I'm assuming that you've looked at the zoning definitions to see if they list density minimums. Any apartments or senior living facilities within your radius? Have you tried to see if you can calculate this by looking at the map and counting the houses? You can appeal this credit but you want to make sure you qualify before you do.
