Introduction
Oyer -view
flie U.S. Green Building CounciI (USGBC), the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) and the Natuna[
ReSULII"Ce5 Defense Council (NRDC)—three, organizations that represent some of the nation's leaders
among progressive design professionals, builders, developers, and the environmental community—have
come together to develop a national set of standards for neighborhood location and design based on the
combined principles of smart growth, new urbanism, and green building. The goal of this partnership is
to establish these standards for assessing and rewarding environxnentally superior development practices
within the rating framework of the LEED� (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green
Building Rating SysiemTM,
Unlike other LEED products that focus primarily an green building practices, with relatively few credits
regarding site selection and design, LEAD for Neighborhood Development peaces emphasis on the design
and construction elements that bring buildings together into a neighborhood,, and relate the neighborhood
is its larger region and landscape. The work of the committee is guided by sources such as the Smart
Growth Network's ten principles of smart growth, the Charter of the New Urbanism, and ether LEER
rating systems. LEED for Neighborhood Development cremes a label, as well as guidelines for design
and decision-making, to serve as an incentive for better location, design, and construction of new
residential, commercial, and mixed use developments.
The existing LEER for Neve Construction Rating System has a proven track record of encpuraging
builders to utilize green building practices, such as increasing energy and water efficiency and improving
indoor air quality in buildings. it is the hope of the partnership that DEED for Neighborhood
Development will have a similarly positive effect ineDcouraging developers to revitalize existing urban
areas, reduce land consumption, reduce automobile dependence, promote pedestrian activity, improve air
qualify, decrease polluted stormwater runoff, and build more livable, sustainable, communities for people
of x.11 income levels.
How LIED Rating Systems Work
LEER provides rating systems that are voluntary, consensus -based, market-driven, grounded in accepted
energy and environmental principles, and that stake a balance between established practices and
emerging concepts. LEER rating systems are developed by committees, in adherence with USGBC
Policies and procedures guid ng the development and maintenance of rating systems. LIED for
Neighborhood Development is one of a grooving portfolio of rating systems serving specific market
SeGtDI"S.
LEER rating systems typically consist of a few prerequisites and many credit. In order to be certified, a
projectMuSt meet each prerequisite. Each credit is optionat, but achievement of each credit contributes to
the projecf"s point total. A minimum point total is required for certification, and higher paint scores are
required for silver, gold, or platinum LEED certification.
What is a "Nezghbarhood Development"9
?
The rating system is designed to certify exemplary development projects that perform well in terms of
smart growth, new urbanism, and green building. Projects may constitute whale neighborhoods, fractions
of neighborhoods, or multiple neighborhoods. Smaller, infill projects that are single use but compliment

uses should be able to earn certification as
The LEED for Neighborhood Development Pilot Program
well as larger and mixed use
Up to 12D projects in total will be selected to be a past of the pilot grogram. The objective of tine pilot
program is to ensure that the rating system is practical for application and is an effective tool for
recognizing projects that incorporate smart growth, new urbanist, and green building practices. The
LEED for Neighborhood Development Core Committee will assess the experience gained from the pilot
program in order to revise the rating system. for public comment and ballot,
LEED for Neighborhood Development's principal aim is to improve land -use patterns, neighborhood
design., and technology in the United States. However, on a very limited basis, the pilot program may test
the applicability of the rating system in non -United States settings as well.
In terms of eligibility for the pilaf program, there is no minimumor maximum for project size and no
strict definition for what would comprise a neighborhood. The only requirement is that projects must be.
able to meet all prerequisites and anticipate that tie minimum number of points through credits to achieve
cel-tificaiion can be earned.
Certification Process
LEED for Neighborhood Development well certify prqjects that may have significantly Ionger
construction periods than single buildings, and as a result the standard LEED certif ca�ian process needed
to be modified. The core committee wanted to be able to provide developers of certifiable projects with
some farm of approval even at the early, pre-entiflement stage. They also wanted to ensure that great
plans became great ria] -life projects, With these goals in mind, the care committee created the following
three -stage certification process:
Optional Pre -review (Stage 1)
This stage is available but not required for projects at any paint before the entitlement process
begins. If pre -review approval of the plan is achieved, USGBC will issue a letter stating that if
the project is built as proposed, it will be able to achieve LEED for Neighborhood Development
certification. The purpose of this letter is to assist the developer in building a case for entitlement
among land use planning authorities, as well as a case for fining ancand occupant commitments.
Certification of an Approved Plan. (,stage 2)
This stage is available after the project has been granted any necessary approvals and
entitlements to be build to plan. Any changes to the pre -reviewed plan that could potentially
affect prerequisite or credit achievement mould be communicated to USGBC as pari of this
submission. If certification of the approved plan is achieved, USGBC will issue a certificate
stating that the approved plan is a LEED for Neighborhood Devclopineiit Certified Plan and will
1 ist it as such on the USGBC website.
Certification of a Completed Net-ghborhood Deve,lopment (Stage 3)
This step takes place when construction is complete or nearly complete. Any changes to the
certified approved plan that could potentially affect prerequisite or credit achievement would be
caminunicated to USGBC as part of this subinisszon. If certification of the completed
neighborhood development is achieued. USGBC will issue plagues or similar awards for public
display at the project site and will dist it as such on the USGBC website.

Similar to other LEED certification processes-, projects will be provided with a more thorough explanation
of credit topics and calculations in a reference guide. Project- teams will be required to submit
documentation for each credit as described in the "submittal" sections of the rating system. Pilot
participants �°ilk be given submittal templates to fill out as part of documentation after they -reg' their
project. The templates wiII assist projects in providina the requested calculations. The submittal section
included ti�vitli each credit in the rating system is su�ajecl: to modification during the course of the ;pilot
program. During the pilot pl•ogr-am, project teams are encouraged to suggest replacement documentation
that clearly verifies that the requirements have been met but may be easier to access or produce Than the
items listed below. The certification reviewers will evaluate the adequacy of the potential replacement
documentation an a case-by-case basis.

FREGUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is LEED for Neighborhood Development?
DEED for Neighborhood Development is a raking system that integrates the principles of smart
growth, new urbanism, and green building, info the first national standard for neighborhood
design. if is being developed by USGBC in partnership with the Congress for the New
Urbanism (CNU)2nd the Natural Resources Defuse council (NRDC),
What is the signfficance of LEED for Neighborhood development certification?
Using the framework of over LEED rating systems, LIED for Nei hborhood D vu
�mer�t
recognizes development projects that successfully protect and enhance the overall health.
natural environment, and quality of life of our communities. The rating system encourages
smart growth and new urbanist best practices, promoting the design of neighborhoods that
reduce vehicle miles traveled and communities where jobs and services are accessible by foot
or public transit. It promotes more efficient energy and water use—especially important in
urban meas where infrastructure is often overtaxed.
What is the status of LEER for Neighborhood Development?
The LEED for Neighborhood Development pHot program has just begun. A call for pilot
projects took place between February and April 2007. More than 370 projects submitted an
expression of interest to participate. Die to overwhelming interest in the pilot program,
additional resources were made available that enabled Us to accommQda#e any of these
projects that choose to register for the pilot program. After registration, these projects will
submit documentation based on the rating system to be verified by a third -party reviewer in
order to became LEED Certified pilot projects. The information learned during the pilot
program will be used to make further revisions to the raking system and the resuffing draft will
be posted for public comment before it is submitted for final approvals and balloting.
What cora projects do to get certified if they missed the deadline for pa�icipation in tie
pilot program?
Although the period for applying to be in the pilot program has passed, .projects will be able to
participate in the full program, which should launch in early 2009. For most projects,
certification under the full program should offer similar value to pilot certification, since LEER for
Neighborhood Development enables projects to certify at both very early and very late stages
of development. For now, projects can look to the pilot rating system and other information that
is posted at www. u sg bc. orWleed/nd for general guidance as to what LEER for Neicihborhood
Development is about, although the rating system will change somewhat as a result of the pilot
program.
Program staff and the LEED for Neighborhood Development Core Committee are developing
ways for projects that are interested in persuing LEED for Neighborhood Development to
remain engaged during the pi`iot phase, even if they missed the pilot application deadline.
Please join the LEED for Neighborhood Development Corresponding Committee if you would
like to dear about these opportunities once they become available. This listsery will also be
notified when the full program is. open for registration. Directions on haw to join the
corresponding committee are below.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the ocher LEES rating systems interact with LEED for Neighborhood
Development?
Paints are available within the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system for including
LEES Certified buildings and for integrating green building practices within the buildings on the
project site. These credits relate to energy efficiency, reduced wafter use, building reuse,
recycled materials, and heat island reduction.
Now will LEED for Neighborhood Development be different from the application Guide
for Multiple Buildings and ars-Campus Building Projects?
The Application �uid� fv� M�I�ip�e 8uiidir�gs and On -campus Building Projects is based on the
SEED for New Construction ruing system for buildings and therefore does not incorporate
smart growth or new urbanism to the extent that LIED for Neighborhood Development does.
The LEED dor Neighborhood Development rating system focuses on residential, commercial,
and mixed use projects developed by a single entity but often sold or leased to multiple
consumers whereas the application guide targets institutional and office park campuses,
usually Owned and operated by a single entity,
What are the LEED for Neighborhood Development Core and Corresponding
Committees?
The core committee does the day-to-day work of developing the rating system, while a larger
corresponding committee is also established for every LEED product so that interested
stakeholders can participate in its development. The corresponding committee listserrr enables
a wider group of experts and interested parties to stay updated and receive notification of
opportunities to provide feedback. Corresponding committee members receive minutes from
care committee meetings and other announcements.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Identified natural features, e.g. woodlands, stapes, rock outcroppings, water ladies, etc. are not
disturbed as pert of development and are designated as common elements to be preserved and
maintained by a homeowners association or dedicated to the City.
Regional corridors of wildlife significance are identified and are incorporated in to the proposed
developments overall open sp,ace plan.
Open. space should be nearly circular as possible to minimize competition from generalist species,
predation, and human disturbance.
Riparian areas along rivers and streams are preserved with natural and native landscaping to encourage
continued use of these arias as wildlife corridors.
Storm wader- Clustering of impervious surface in areas where soils are least porous. This will leave areas
that allowed 'infiltration prior to development to continue to allow it.
Storm Water- installation of infiltration basins, infiltration trenches, swales with check dams, and,/or
permeable surfaces.
Using natural droinage can save money per house built over the use of storm drains.
Nativeplants are used for common open space elements
Drought tolerant !ants are used for
p common open space elements
Areas of proposed park areas use only turf lawns where specifically required for use, all other areas use
native or drought resistant plant species.
Buffalo Grass is used as a turf alternative.
Landscaped areas involving trees, shrubs, and ornamentals incorporate a drip or bubbler irrigation
system.
-�� HO USING
Mixed housing types, e.g. apartments, condos, medium density, low density, and mixed use are
incorporated in the development with the intent to allow aging in place and an appropriate mix of
socioeconomic groups.

The purpose of the Performance Development Overlay Zone is t
encourage imaginative and efficient uti i ati n of land, to develop a
sense of community, and to insure Compatibility with the surrounding
neighborhoods and environment. This is accomplished by providing
greater flexibility in the location of buildings on the land the
consolidation ofopen spaces, and the clustering of dwelling units.
Theser vis* r s are intended to create more attractive and more
desirable environments within time residential areas ofProvo City.

land uses. The types of mitigation measures listed � f

sections are the design tools that may he employed either se arate l or

between conflicting land uses conflicts can often be avoided, The

areas that could be unsafe or insecure. They can also prevent
p
spillage of materials from one site to another. Noise, light. and odor
pollution can he reduced at the point of origin by'
modifying the

considerations involved in mitigation throuorh orientation the
materials, colors, scale, and prominence f buildings in adjacent � cent

architectural compatibility should rise froY a total consideration of
the function of each land use and the function of the space between
