I am working on a LEED NC 2009 project, which is only to build a head office building which is located inside the factory / manufacturing facility (the owner decided to certify only for its office). The construction of the factory and the office building will be performed simultaneously. This project is located in a suburban area, outside of US. There is no local zoning requirements, so Option 4 applies. My question is what kind of ITE parking generation's landuse should I take? Office building or Manufacturing (since its located inside manufacturing facility). Fyi, both facility will have its own parking spaces.

I am not sure that there is a definitive answer to this kind of situation, but based on other aspects of LEED I would consider the proportional size or FTE load of the two facilities, and go with the one that is more substantial, or go for some kind of blending of the two requirements.

Yasir I would always suggestion going with more stringent of the 2 land use requirements. LEED seems to follow that protocol with all it's codes/ zoning requirements.
