Strategies & Implementation


Do not develop hardscape on

1. A farm land

2. Land close to water bodies- at least 100’ away

3. Flood prone area. (Floodplain subject to a 1% orgreater chance of flooding in any given year) i.e. theprobability of flooding in the site should be less than1%

4. Land identified for endangered species.

Endangered Species: Population of organisms which isat risk of becoming extinct

10

Avoid development of Environmentally sensitive sites

5. Land close to wetland-at least 50’away

Wetland: A wetland is an area of land whose soil issaturated with moisture either permanently orseasonally.


12

Select Previously Developed Site

• Previously developed sites are altered by paving, construction, and/or land use that would typically have required regulatory permit.

• Development of previously developed sites preserve, undeveloped Greenfield sites, farmlands and environmentally sensitive sites


8/8/2018

High Priority Site


• To encourage project location in areas withdevelopment constraints

14

Intent

8



Locate the project in infill site of an

existing historic district

16

• Infill development involves developments with in urban area

Historic district is a group of buildings, structures, objects, and sites that have been designated or determined to be eligible as historically and architecturally significant.

• Site declared as Brownfield by Government Agencies, Local voluntary cleanup programs or Environmental Site Assessment

Brownfield: Contaminated Site, requires remediationfor development

17

Redevelop Brownfield Site


Priority designations are the sites whose developmentis encouraged or supported by Government

18

Locate the Project in a Priority Designation


8/8/2018

10

• Infill site/Brownfield Site or priority designations willhave existing infrastructure and hence reduces theload on infrastructure requirement

• Development of these sites preserves undevelopedGreenfield sites

19

Significance


Surrounding Density & Diverse uses


8/8/2018

11

• To promote development in areas with existinginfrastructure.

• To promote walkability and transportation efficiency

• Reduce vehicle distance traveled.

• Improve public health by encouraging daily physicalactivity.

21

Intent




8/8/2018

12

• LEED encourages high dense developments• Density of a building is the ratio between total building floor area

or dwelling units on a parcel of land and the buildable land area• Points allotted based on density of project and surroundings within

¼ mile

23

High Dense Development


LEED encourages developments with access to diverse uses

• Points allotted based on number of diverse use spaces within ½ mile walking distance from project entrance

• Spaces include super market, grocery, restaurants laundry, place of worship, offices, banks, housing, parks etc.

• Automated Machines such as ATM, Vending Machines are not counted as diverse uses.

24

Diverse Uses


8/8/2018

13

• High dense development reduces the buildingfootprint , hence preserves greenfield sites and openspaces

• Access to diverse spaces uses reduce vehicle distancetraveled and associated environmental impact

• Access to diverse use also increases physical activityof occupants and promotes occupants well being

25

Significance


Access to quality transit


8/8/2018

14

• To encourage development with transportationfacilities

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, andother environmental and public health harmsassociated with motor vehicle use.

27

Intent


• Transportation- Major Contributor of air pollution

15



Existing/ planed & funded train/metro station, bus rapid transit stops within ½ mile of pedestrian access are considered to be accessible quality transits.

30

Rapid transit with in ½ mile walking distance


8/8/2018

16

31

Bus stop with in ¼ mile walking distance

Existing/ planed & funded bus stop, ride share, street car within ¼ mile of pedestrian access are considered to be accessible quality transits.

• Points are awarded based on number of transits within accessible distance (accessible distance is1/2 mile for train stations or rapid transit services and 1/4 mile for Bus stop and rapid transit services)


32

Terminologies

Bus rapid transit is an enhanced bus system that operates on exclusivebus lanes or other transit rights-of-way. The system is designed tocombine the flexibility of buses with the efficiency of rail.

33

Terminologies

Streetcar(also called as tram)is a transit service with small, individual railcars. Spacing between stations is uniformly short and ranges from everyblock to ¼ mile, and operating speeds are primarily 10–30 mph (15–50km/h). Streetcar routes typically extend 2–5 miles (3-8 kilometers).


34

Ride share is a transit service in which individuals travel together in apassenger car or small van that seats at least four people. It can includehuman-powered conveyances, which must accommodate at least twopeople. It must include an enclosed passenger seating area, fixed routeservice, fixed fare structure, regular operation, and the ability to pick upmultiple riders.

Smart Growth:

53

• Smart growth is an urban planning and transportation theory that concentrates growth in compact walkable urban centers to avoid sprawl.

• Advocates compact, transit oriented, walkable, bicycle-friendly land use, including neighborhood schools, complete streets, and mixed-use development with a range of housing choices.


• Sensitive land protection

• High priority site

• Surrounding density and diverse uses

• Access to quality transit

• Bicycle facilities

• Reduced parking footprint

• Green Vehicles

• LEED for Neighborhood Development Location

The over all objective of this category is to reduce environmental impact associated with site selection and transportation
