I have a 2 building campus, all new construction. We are only certifying one of the buildings. We are only adding the minimum amount of parking as required by the local county, however they rated our entire site for that zoning amount. How do we decide what is minimum zoning only for the LEED building, or can we state that since our larger project does not exceed minimum parking requirements that we are in compliance with LEED?

The LEED MPRs require you to allocate parking between multiple buildings in this situation based on an "appropriate percentage" of use.Does that help? This is kind of a complex question, but maybe a simple answer will do the trick....

Hello Tristan, Can you please point in the direction of where the MPR address this? I am reviewing the MPR and supplemental guidance document for the MPR and I can't find where it says "appropriate guidance." I am having the same issues as Prudence. Thanks!

Courtney, the relevant MPR3 guidance is here. I don't see that specific language that I quoted three years ago, perhaps because the guidance has been revised, but there is some useful guidance on that page in any case, and you can post any follow up questions to that forum.
