FAQs about SSc4.4 :

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?

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”?

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

Parking Capacity

I am working on a hotel with two separate buildings. Since the parking will be used for the same hotel, the local zoning requirements were met. As they will combine the number of parking spaces for both buildings. But as two separate projects with LEED. One building does not meet the local requirements and the other building exceeds it. As per LEED the building cannot exceed or have less than the local zoning requirement. In this case, what can be done to meet SSc4.4? Thank you for your assitance.

Hi Vital, Let me just clarify that I understand what is going on in the project. The hotel complex (both buildings) meet local zoning requirements for parking. However, when you look at them separately, as they are being submitted for LEED, they fail to meet/exceed the zoning requirements on their own. Are the buildings being submitted separately because on is lagging the other? If the parking is in between the two buildings, is there any way to alter the LEED boundary to include more parking in the building which is failing to meet zoning (Without gerrymandering of course)? I have a few ideas, but just clarify the aforementioned.

Mr. Mlotek: Thank you for responding. Yes when you look at them separately, as they are being submitted for LEED, they fail to meet/exceed the zoning requirements on their own. The buildings are not next to each other. One is on the west side of an avenue and the other one is across the street. From my understanding, they chose to submit them separately instead of doing them as a campus. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
