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?

Development Density Exemplary Performance - Site Area

If I go for the exemplary performance credit but use path 2, I would need to show 120,000 SF/acre in a site area twice my base. If my base density radius is 227 LF, do I double that, and if so what happens if a highway intersects a large portion of the site? Thanks

Emmanuel, a highway would unfortunately count against you in terms of density.
