I am working on a project which includes no new parking with the exception of 1 code-required handicap parking spot. How is this counted? Does it mean we automatically have to add a carpool space, or does the exception Lauren mentions (above) count towards this type of space as well?

Jeremy,
My thought would be since LEED exempts ADA spots for preferred parking, I don't believe it would be counted as new parking since it is required by code and the project is not adding any more additional spaces. My suggestion would to submit this credit under Option 2 but choose the alternative compliance path check box on the Form. This will give you the opportunity to explain your unique situation and upload the zoning document or letter from Dept of Zoning stating that one ADA parking stall was required for your project.
