Our project meets the service part of Option 2, but the 10 units per acre is not so easy in this rural development. Our County rarely approves 10 unit per acre density's. However, directly adjacent to our project site there is an "affordable housing" subdivision that is zones R6 (6 units per acre). Does the affordable housing component or the limits provided by the zoning set by the County somehow allow us a variance on this LEED credit.

Also, is this an all or nothing credit - 5 points? or could we get partial credit by having the 10 services part and not the housing component?
Thank you.
