LEED for Neighborhood Development recognizes development projects that successfully protect and enhance the overall health, natural environment and quality of life. KAFD site was designed to encourages smart growth and New Urbanism best practices by:
- Promoting the location and design of neighborhoods that reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT)
- Creating developments where jobs and services are accessible by foot or public transit
- Promoting an array of green building and green infrastructure practices, particularly for more efficient energy and water use
- Protecting and conserving habitat, wetlands, water bodies, and prime agricultural lands through the maintenance of natural areas and “smart location” choices
