I am working on a major renovation project in which the client has agreed to remove 25% of the existing parking spaces and replace the asphalt with native meadows. I think that removing parking is pretty innovative, but I am not sure if GBCI would consider this worthy of an ID credit. Thoughts?

Shannon,
While this is indeed admirable, I do not think you would get innovation for it because the strategy could contribute to earning a number of credits including SS 5.1, 6.1, 6.2, and 7.1. You may look to see if you could earn an ID for exemplary performance for SS 5.1 (75% of remaining site restored or preserved / 30% of total site) or SS 5.2 (2x the amount of land required to be open space.
