参考答案: AC

本题解释:
Notes:
The previously graded site could meet the requirements of Sustainable Sites Credit, Site
Development-Protect or Restore Habitat because the site is previously graded and 50% of the
site has been restored.
The 1,000,000 sq. ft. warehouse site is being built on a previously developed site, and 50% of the
site area will be covered in native plants. This site also qualifies for Sustainable Sites Credit, Site
Development-Protect or Restore Habitat.
The Greenfield site is incorrect because on a Greenfield site, site disturbance must be limited to
40 feet beyond the building.
The military complex is under no local zoning requirements, but to meet Sustainable Sites Credit,
Site Development-Maximize Open Space the open space would need to be 500,000 sq. ft., not
250,000 sq. ft. The open space must be equal to the building footprint.
The 50,000 sq. ft. office building site would fall under Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development-
Maximize Open Space, Option 3 because ‘a zoning ordinance exists but there is no requirement
for open space.’However the open space must be 20% of the site area, and on this site there will
only be 5,000 sq. ft. (10%) of open space.
The question asked for either credit. Both correct answer choices meet Sustainable Sites Credit,
Site Development-Protect or Restore Habitat only.
