FAQs about SSc2 :

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?

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?

NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

Community Connectivity

I have two questions: 1. Is a daycare center considered a basic service? 2. Can I have more than one school listed in basic services?

1) yes- it's listed right in the rating system 2) No - restaurants are the only basic service you're allowed to list more than once; you can have up to two restaurants

but what if have two different schools e.g: preliminary school and high school which serves different groups of the community

I am afraid as far as LEED is concerned, a school is a school and is only allowed to be counted once.
