The CNT Renovation does not meet the prerequisite development density of exceeding 60,000 sf per acre of site in order to be eligible for the one point available for SSc2. The low development density is due to our inclusion in the total site area a separate vacant gravel lot a few doors away which serves as CNT\'s parking lot. A significant portion of the site\'s grounds is gardens, which will highlight plants native to the area. The facility is an existing building located within a primarily residential neighborhood. It was an abandoned loom factory before CNT purchased it 13 years ago and converted part of it into office space. Even though the prerequisite is not met, the present renovation will result in a doubling of the number of full-time occupants in the building, consequently doubling the density of use within the building itself. At over seventy (70) occupants per 14,000 sf for the facility, the occupant density will be considerably higher than the primarily residential density in the immediate surroundings of the facility. The intent of the credit as written is to "Channel development to urban areas with existing infrastructure, protect greenfields, and preserve habitat and natural resources." Since the renovation doubles the density of use within the building, does not contribute to the need for additional infrastructure and additional building structures, and preserves habitat which is native to the area it would seem that our renovation project does indeed meet the intent of the credit. Our inquiry is whether or not these circumstances can be considered to meet the prerequisite for this Credit. Furthermore, we suggest considering a metric for development density that is based on the designed occupancy level rather than on floor area of the building.
