NC-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
For a healthcare project that has a significant number of handicap parking spaces (nearly 1/3 of the parking capacity), can we exclude the handicap spaces when tallying up the total vehicle parking capacity?

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?
For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?
I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

No. Ultimately, the total vehicle count is part of the zoning and proffer process for the building project, that you choose to build more handicap spaces than required isn't a pass on the credit limits. My approach would be to establish the 'code required' HC spaces and then discuss with the client the number of HC 'extra' spaces that they would like to be restricted to fuel efficient vehicles. In general, we don't mix our required HC spaces with the signed spaces for this credit.
