We have a project where we are accessing our site by cutting through an existing parking lot that belongs to the city (and supports the use of a city-owned pool). We are recreating the parking lot for them in return, and then adding what we need for our project. It is part of our LEED boundary, but the pool parking is not for our building's use. Do we have to count this in our parking total? Is it feasible that the reviewer would be willing to accept the argument that it should not be counted in the total as OUR parking, if we recieved a document from the city clarifying that although it was rebuilt within the LEED boundary, they retain ownership and use of the parking lot?

Renee, I don't think you should need to count the parking that is not associated with your building. When in doubt, give a good narrative on this, but it seems like it would only be counted as an accident of construction work, not for a more fundamental reason.
