Our project is located in a new area in which a residential area will be developed in the near future but is not developed yet. Is it possible to count this area for option 2?
Thanks!

If proposed residential area will be developed till development of your project than you can count this in option 2. But if it is proposed will not be developed till your project get operation, you can not count this..

We have a project in which a residential area is under construction and within the half mile radious but will not be ready until Nov. 2014 and our CI project has been completed April 2013, if it meets the 10 units per acre would this qualify for the residential area?

The reference guide says that up to 2 of the basic services can be anticipated as long as they will be operational within 1 year of occupation of the LEED project. It looks like you are not within that one year range assuming project completion and occupancy are close together. While the reference guide does not explicitly state that the residential component can also adhere to this same standard, I am guessing that if you met the 1 year requirement, you could use the anticipated residental area if it met the density requirements.
