The total land area within a 1/4 mi. (0.40 km) radius of a project boundary consists of 130 acres (53 hectares) and has a residential to nonresidential ratio of 60:40. Within this same total land area, there are 780 dwelling units and 1,600,000 ft2 (148 645 m2) of nonresidential building space. Given these parameters, what are the surrounding residential and nonresidential densities when attempting to achieve Location and Transportation Credit, Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses?

• A.10 dwelling units per acre (24 dwelling units per hectare) and a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.47
• B.10 dwelling units per acre (24 dwelling units per hectare) and a FAR of 0.70
• C.13 dwelling units per acre (32 dwelling units per hectare) and a FAR of 0.47
• D.15 dwelling units per acre (36 dwelling units per hectare) and a FAR of 0.70
