We are trying to achieve credit SSc4 option 2 for NC 2.2. Our project is on a college campus- outside of the campus transportation services zoning because it is a user support building for student housing. There is no local zoning, so I followed Portland Zoning as the guide requires. We have a total number of 21 parking space, of which 14 are for low-emitting "GEM" like electric vehicles only, therefore they are smaller in size than a normal stall. We also provide on van-pool and one handicap on site. This leaves us with 5 remaining regular parking stalls. If I calculate the carpool requirements of 5% of total parking capacity, then we are required to provide 2 carpool spaces. This would be a bit of a waste since the remaining 5 spaces are simply for maintenance worker vehicles providing service around the campus. Does anyone know a way around this? Are we required to include the electric vehicle parking in the calc? I know this is a bit fuzzy, but if anyone has come across a similar situation please let me know.

Thanks!
