We designed a building/garage right up against an existing building/garage. All of our new construction parking (within the LEED boundary) is either under the tower footprint, or under or vegetated green roof. During our preliminary construction review, the technical advice (action item) stated that existing satellite imagery indicated that the existing garage parking was not covered, and therefore we did not meet the credit requirements. If those are outside our LEED boundary, and not part of our building, shouldn't those be excluded? I was hoping to just resubmit a plan with the LEED boundary explicitly showing those spaces outside the LEED boundary.

I would suggest making a case for clearing definining what is within the LEED project boundary and making the case that the existing parking lot is not part of the boundary. Does the existing parking lot have the same owner as your building/garage? If not it further strenghtens your argument that this should not be counted as part of your project.
