A. Site assessment (e.g., topography; hydrology; climate; vegetation; soils; human use; human health impacts)

B. Site assessment: site as a resource (e.g., energy flows)

C. Construction activity pollution prevention (e.g., soil erosion, waterway sedimentation/contamination, airborne dust)

Habitat conservation and restoration (e.g., on-site restoration or preservation; off-site habitat restoration; off-site habitat conservation; native or adaptive vegetation; disturbed or compacted soils)
Exterior open space (e.g., amount of space and quality of services; vegetated outdoor space; biophilia)
Exterior lighting (e.g., exterior light trespass and uplight; consequences to the development of wildlife and people)
Rainwater management (e.g., historical rainfall conditions; natural hydrology; low-impact development)
