Incorporate a diversity of land uses
Rationale:
Incorporating both residential and non-residential land uses increases walkability of a community, supporting increased physical activity and decreased risk of chronic disease related to sedentary lifestyles; diverse land uses also are associated with reduced risk of crime and contribute to increased social cohesion and perceived safety.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform
Requirements
Demonstrate compliance with the below:
Non-Residential Uses (Full Credit):
To achieve full credit, demonstrate compliance with the following requirement:
- Include a minimum of two of the following qualifying non-residential uses within the project:
- areas of commerce (such as retail corridors, restaurants, or markets)
- civic and/or institutional buildings (such as libraries, schools, or community centers)
- commercial buildings (such as office buildings or other places of employment)
- light industrial buildings (such as the light industry, light manufacturing, or bulk warehouse).
Open spaces, such as parks or plazas, do not qualify as non-residential uses for this strategy.
Compliance Documentation
Design and Built Pathways
- Upload an annotated plan(s) or map(s) identifying the existing or planned qualifying non-residential uses within the project.
- Checkboxes to certify that the following non-residential uses will be included within the project (two minimum):
- areas of commerce (such as retail corridors, restaurants, or markets)
- civic and/or institutional buildings (such as libraries, schools, or community centers)
- commercial buildings (such as office buildings or other places of employment)
- light industrial buildings (such as the light industry, light manufacturing, or bulk warehouse).
