FAQs about SSc4.4 :

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

Hotel and counting drop-off spaces

Hello - we have a hotel project and are attempting Option 1. The question is - we are meeting the zoning requirement for number of spaces, PLUS we have 3 drop-off (15 minute) spaces. Do the drop-off spaces count in total number of parking? (therefore requiring us to lose 3 total spaces to keep to the zoning #) Do they count in the total # of spaces in order to calc the % of preferred parking?

Lauren, they sound like parking spaces to me. I might think differently if it were a "drop off zone" but I don't see a clear argument for saying that these are not parking spaces.
