2. Maintenance shed

8-feet wide (2.5 meters). A good design might be an 8-foot impervious trail with 2 feet of
gravel on either side.

a condition rating of
40% or higher.
● Trees under 40% condition rating

,based on a project's use type and size

primary use
No more than two uses of each type (for example no more than 2 restaurants)

Wetlands - No development within 50 feet of wetlands.
LT Credit Density and Mixed Use - Warehouses and Distribution Centers - ANSWER
Option 1 Development and Adjacency.
For this option the project must:
, ● Build or rehabilitate the project on a previously developed site that was previously
used for industrial or commercial purposes (2 points).
OR
• Build or reconstruct the project on a site that is both previously developed and an
adjacent site. The adjacent sites must be currently used for industrial or commercial
purposes. 3 points.
Option 2 Transportation Resources. The site shall be built or reconstructed on a site
that has at least two of the following:
• The site is within a 10-mile, 16 kilometer drive from a main logistics hub, defined as:
airport, seaport, intermodal facility, or freight village with intermodal transportation.
• The site is within a 1-mile, 1600-meter drive from an on-off ramp to a highway.
• The site is within a 1-mile, 1600-meter drive from an access point to an active freight
rail line.
• The site has an active freight rail spur serving it.
LT Credit Access to Quality Transit - Schools - ANSWER Only school projects have
options/requirements for bicycle lanes. For other project types being able to bicycle to
the transit service does not contribute to this credit.
LT mapping the surrounding density - ANSWER The map should shade buildings within
the surrounding area based upon their use: residential, nonresidential or mixed.
Also included is buildable land, meaning all of the land within that 1/4 mile except
non-habitat space such as parking garages, or public rights of way and land excluded
from development by law.
The project buildings are also excluded from surrounding density calculations;
remember, it is surrounding density, not project density.
Schools only: Physical education spaces that are part of the project site playing fields,
associated bldgs, playgrounds should not be counted here.
LT criteria for EVSE for green parking - ANSWER 1. A Level 2 or higher charging
