FAQs about SSc3.3 :

Why are the CI designated parking requirements in Cases 1 and & 2 Option 1 determined by a Full Time Equivalent of tenant space/building while for New Construction the requirements are simply a percentage of parking provided?

If a CI project occupies a building that has existing parking, but no designated parking to the tenant, can it pursue “no parking will be provided"?

To qualify for the 2 credit point here, we would only need to prove that there has been no parking provided or subsidized parking provided to our client (tenant)? For clarity, not tenants of the Total building. To prove this fact, would you provide a copy of the complete lease agreement to confirm that such a clause does not exist? Or would it be easier to request a letter from the landlord confirming this fact? What have you used as documentation to earn this credit(s)? Thanks.

And another clarification request, regarding the word "provided", does this refer to a) parking spots 'provided' to the tenant for their use for no charge in addition to the lease agreement, or b) the literal meaning, that no parking spots are 'provided' / available to our client in any manner, whether for additional charge or not (or in other words, the building does not even have a parking lot)? In our client's case, there is a parking lot located within the building but it is available to them at the same charge per hour as it is to anyone. Anyone, such as a tenant, guests/customers of tenants, or local area users can park for $x/hour. And the lease agreement signed by our client does not include any free parking passes, designated parking spots, or discounted/subsidized parking. Would this be sufficient to earn the credits under Case 1 Option 2?

I have the same question. The project is about 28% of the total building sf. There will be no new parking provided and no existing parking allotted to the new space. However, the landlord is the tenant's spouse, and no lease exists. However, on leedonline I can note that there will be no parking provided for the tenant AND that no lease exists, but that does not satisfy the credit. I can get a document signed by both parties saying that there is no parking being provided for the new space but will that be sufficient? Should I then document it under alternative compliance?

Raymond, that is for the tenant, not for all tenants.Jessica, I think a letter would suffice.
