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?

NC-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

No new parking VS local regulations

We are targeting SSc.4.4-Alternative Transportation-Parking Capacity for a New Construction project. The project will not provide any parking. However, the local regulations ask that disabled parking spaces be provided. Can the project still go for Option 3 (no new parking) for this credit? If not, how can the project approach options 1 and 2 (provide preferred parking for carpools) to achieve this credit as all the parking will be for disabled people. Many thanks

Michael, I would suggest explaining your situation with the alternative compliance path approach as suggested in earlier post 2/14/11. Disabled parking spaces are exempt from being designated for preferred parking and since this is the only type of space you are adding, and it is required by local regulation, you have a good case for meeting the intent of the credit. Make sure you upload any documentation you have that shows the disabled parking spaces are required.
