Mark your parking areas, and any carpool drop-off areas, in the parking layout drawings. Preferred parking spaces must be clearly designated, for example with a sign that states “Carpool and vanpool parking only.”
If you pursue an option that makes provisions for carpools, design your facility to include transportation amenities for a carpooling program: appropriate drop-off areas, preferred parking for carpools and vanpools, and space to post
Ensure that you meet the minimum parking capacity following your credit option. If applicable, verify that preferred parking spaces are included in your plans and in your total parking count.
Depending on your compliance path option (chosen earlier):
Option 1: Check local codes and make sure your planned parking capacity meets but does not exceed minimum parking requirements. Identify preferred parking spaces for at least 5% of total building occupants.
Option 2: For rehabilitations, verify that no parking is added and provide preferred parking spaces for at least 5% of total building occupants.
Depending on your compliance path option (as chosen earlier):
Option 1: Check local codes and make sure the parking capacity for the tenant space meets but does not exceed minimum parking requirements and verify that your lease does not guarantee more than the minimum. Identify preferred parking spaces for at least 5% of your tenant occupants.
Option 2: Verify that no parking is subsidized or provided for your tenant occupants.
