If the listed site features do not unanimously apply to your site, select the most appropriate category or use a combination of two or more categories to screen LID options. Please note that LID practices are scalable and applying alternate LID practices to those identified for each land use group may be a possibility upon a more detailed evaluation of site constraints (i.e. field testing conducted during pre-design). Choosing an appropriate LID practice can be an iterative process as additional site information becomes available in the predesign phase.

For each land use group, this section identifies source areas typically found on these sites. Source areas are features such as parking lots, roofs, pedestrian areas, common areas, and landscape areas. The section also discusses LID retrofit opportunities and constraints within these source areas, and provides a table for each land use group that identifies common, possible, and unlikely retrofit options.
For each land use group, this section identifies source areas typically found on these sites and gives advice on which LID practices are usually the ideal choices. Source areas include parking lots, roofs, pedestrian walkways, common areas and landscape areas. The section also discusses LID retrofit opportunities and constraints accompanying these source areas and provides a table for each land use group identifying common, possible, and unlikely retrofit options.
