LEED ND - INFILL SITE DEFINITION Compact Development and Connectivity are indicators that LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) addresses within their pre-requisites and credits.

This rating system defines an Infill Site as a site that meets any of the following conditions: 1. When at least 75% of the site’s boundary borders parcels that individually are at least 50% previously developed and that in aggregate are at least 75% previously developed.

2. The site, in combinations with bordering parcels, forms an aggregate parcel whose boundary is 75% bounded by parcels that individually are at least 50% previously developed and that in aggregate are at least 75% previously developed.

3. At least 75% of the land area, exclusive of rights-of-way, within a ½-mile distance from the project boundary is previously developed.

4. The lands within a ½-mile distance from the project boundary have a preproject connectivity of at least 140 intersections per square mile.

This map shows compliance with definition #3 above.

LEED ND - CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENT Compact Development and Connectivity are indicators that LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) addresses within their pre-requisites and credits.

This rating system requires at least a minimum project connectivity of 140 intersections per square mile. Nonmotorized intersections can be counted in this calculation but no more than 20% of the total number of intersections.

LEED ND - ROW BOUNDARY INTERSECTIONS Compact Development and Connectivity are indicators that LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) addresses within their pre-requisites and credits.

LEED ND - INTERSECTION DENSITY Compact Development and Connectivity are indicators that LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) addresses within their pre-requisites and credits.

This rating system requires a minimum connectivity rating of 90 intersections per square mile (using only the net area) within a 1/4 mile radius from the project boundary.
