Sample Documentation: Maps

Applicability

Maps are required to demonstrate the project is located within a certain distance from amenities and features located outside of the building site.

General Requirements

When providing maps, ensure that the areas that confirm compliance are highlighted and/or annotated.

Information Checklist

• Visual representation of the project and a larger context (e.g. site, campus or city).
• Annotations to indicate the amenity’s location and required information.
• Annotations to indicate project’s location and main building entrance.
• Indication of walking route and distance between the main building entrance and the required amenity.

• Maps may be in any language, provided they include notes with translations to English.
• Hand drawings and writing may be accepted, provided they are legible and translated to English.
• Distance measurements must be walking routes. Driving, radial, non-pedestrian routes, and minutes-in-place-of-distance may not qualify.
• Screenshots of Google Maps or other similar services may qualify, provided the documentation includes all required information and/or annotations to confirm compliance.
• Maps, aerial images, and floor plans may be used interchangeably, provided the selected document includes all required information to confirm compliance.
• Scale should be commensurate with information shown.
