We are renovating (essentially new construction) an abandoned residence to become offices for a small land conservation non-profit. We are not adding any new spaces for parking but are establishing a new dirt and gravel lot. The previous office space was in a barn on an adjoining property, with its own dirt and gravel lot. Does this qualify as no new parking?

Can you clarify this scenario? If you're adding a new parking lot how are you not increasing parking spaces?I could see this being the case if the adjoining property's parking is being returned to a natural state, and it it's also being included in the LEED boundary, but it's not clear that that's what's happening.

The adjoining property's parking lot is being returned to its natural state, but it does not currently fall within the LEED boundary. So I think I just answered my own question. The only way we can claim no new parking is to rework our LEED boundary.

I agree. This might be a bit complicated if the other building is being retained.
