Covered parking spaces

Hello dear colleagues! We are working on industrial project (pump production factory). The project team and the Owner have come to a decision to achieve SSc7.1 credit through option 2 and provide cover for 65 of the total 130 parking spaces aimed for the project. All 130 parking spaces are located outside the main building on specially designated outside areas. To cover 65 spaces, the Owner has ordered covered structures (roof on stakes; SRI for roof covering meets LEED requirements). Moreover, open-grid paving will be provided under each covered structure. Theoretically, we meet the intent of the credit - to reduce heat-island effect. But will such solution be counted for LEED, if to take into account that our covered places are not under the main building itself and are not located on the lower level of the multi-level parking zone? Thank you in advance!
