The tenant is taking 19000 sf of a 100,000 sf existing building and making it CI. There are 60 underground parking stallas and about 200 outside (unshaded). The total number of stalls were put there to meet the needs of the whole building, therefore, how do document just the ones for this tenant are the covered ones? Can I just use the code requirement of approx. 79 stalls? Do I draw a boundary just around the stalls we need? That will hurt my Open Space and look like meandering. I will assume I will have to prove the tenant specific spots are underground via written documentation (Lease or letter from GSA). Your thoughts?

The SSc1 paths address the whole building performance, rather than a portion of the building or site that's designated to a particular tenant. In the reference guide it's a bit more explicit that we have to provide cover for 50% of *all* the building's parking spaces, so even if your LEED project boundary is the 19,000 sf tenant improvement for this credit we have to include all parking stalls and site hardscape associated with the building.
