We have a project on a university campus that uses pooled parking. The project boundary is relatively tight to the building and we have figured out the share of this building's parking stalls based on area of the building vs. total building area on campus.

How do we achieve this credit? I have seen the question regarding off-site parking and understand that we have to include them in the calculation. Is the parking area just the area of a standard stall multiplied by the 42 spots that are the project's share? Do we plant shade trees in a portion of the parking area?

Hi Keith, If you're using Option 2, parking under cover, you would need to count those spaces. However, Option 1 is only concerned with hardscape within the project boundary. no need to calculate an area of offsite parking, just use your on-site sidewalks, driveways, etc. If you're looking to achieve Option 2...is there garage parking that serves all or some of those 42 spaces? Tree planting isn't an allowed strategy in Option 2, but installing a qualifying shade structure would work.
