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. Non-motorized intersections can be counted in this calculation but no more than 20% of the total number of intersections.
Calculation:
Total intersections = 38Total eligible intersections = 22 + (38 x 0.2) = 29.6
Intersection density = 29.6 / 0.12 sq miles = 246.67

LEED ND - ROW BOUNDARY INTERSECTIONS
Compact Development and Connectivity are indicators that LEED ND (Neighborhood Development) addresses within their pre-requisites and credits.
This rating system requires right-of-way (ROW) boundary intersections to be separated no more than 800’.

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.
Calculation:
Net area = 0.66 - 0.12 = 0.54 sq. miles
Intersection density = 35/ 0.54 = 64.8
