Location and Transportation Credit, Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses, Option 1. Surrounding Density requires project teams to exclude what type of land area from the calculations?
A . Buildable land within 1/4 mi. (0.40 km) of the project boundary
B . Public right-of-way areas within 1/4 mi. (0.40 km) of the project boundary
C . Surface parking areas within 1/2 mi. (0.80 km) of the project boundary
D . University campus land areas within 1/2 mi. (0.80 km) of the project boundary

Answer: B

Explanation:

This option requires the project team to exclude public right-of-way areas, such as streets, sidewalks, and alleys, from the calculations of the surrounding existing density1. This option ensures that the density is measured based on the buildable land area, which is the area available for development or construction2.
