Stage 2 Pre-Certified LEED-ND Plan

Hi Chris, By "entitlement" we're referring to land use entitlements, not building permits. From the LEED-ND FAQ: "LEED-ND defines entitlements as 'the existing or granted right to use a property for the specific types and quantities of residential and nonresidential land uses proposed, either by right or through a local government regulatory change process.' A good rule of thumb to determine stage eligibility is to consider whether a project team needs to take their proposed plan or a portion of their proposed plan through the various rounds of land use approvals or whether a project team can build their proposed mix of uses based on their site’s existing zoning and regulatory environment. If yes to the former, a project team’s site is likely most eligible for Stage 1. If yes to the latter, a project team’s site is likely most eligible for Stage 2." Meghan
