This CIR is to request clarification regarding the determination of the LEED specific project site boundary and how this affects Sustainable Sites Credit 5.2 as it relates to a larger parcel of land. This project boundary for a public project will only encompass a smaller portion of a larger parcel of the public land (the project site is a small part of a larger City Operations complex) that has been previously developed. The affected portion has not been subdivided from the rest of the parcel - it will remain part of the larger piece of property. The building and parking lot to be proposed as part of this project will be located in an area of the property that is currently entirely paved. We plan to propose the LEED project site boundary to consist of this area where the building and parking will be located and a portion of the property that will not be disturbed but that will drain directly onto the location where the building will be located. A portion of the site that is already asphalt but will have some re-grading performed (and have asphalt patched back) does not contribute water runoff towards the building area, so this area will not be included in the proposed LEED project site boundary. The area that is not being disturbed is vegetated open space that will allow the project to exceed the open space requirements of the local zoning ordinance by over 50%, thus allowing us to request 1 point for Credit 5.2 along with 1 additional point for an Innovation & Design credit. We request clarification that only this portion of the larger tract of land (as long as it is clearly defined on the drawings) will be allowed to be considered the LEED project site boundary, without subdividing the boundary area from the larger lot.
