LEED for Neighborhood Development is the LEED rating system that LID strategies would best be coordinated and balanced with. For example, LEED for ND encourages street grids to promote walkability and reduce auto dependence. However, a conventional street grid may increase total impervious surface area relative to potential alternative designs. LEED for ND encourages projects to balance small scale storm water management features with the regional benefits to compact development patterns.
