Hi All, 

Our project does not have a minimum local code for parking requirements. If a municipality does not have one an ordinance definng parking requirements, there is no way to exceed it as it does not exist. 

Does this mean we are meeting the first portion of reduce parking footprint?

Or 

Is there a default minimum that our project should be aware of?

We're facing a similar requirement, where our site is exempt from city parking requirement (an existing building was demolished; a high density office building is in its place). We're providing one floor of underground garage space though. The spaces provided is much lower than the Parking Consultants Council requirement. By this calculation, we qualify for the credit by a lrage margin, but the issue of not exceeding local requirement is a grey area for our project. Ay advice is much appreciated.

The form field for minimum parking required by zoning includes a note to enter "N/A" if local zoning requirements do not specify a minimum parking capacity. I haven't received any review comments questioning that N/A when I've entered it.

Thank you Emily. That was my line of thinking, but I wanted to access the braintrust just to solidify my interpretation.
