To clarify:
1.) Can I use a combination of underground parking stalls AND light colored pavement (SRI - 35 typical new gray concrete) AND landscape (tree) shading to achieve this point?
2.) It looks like I cannot use the underground if I go with the option of Shading of Nonroof Impervious Surfaces
3.) The underground parking option requires 50% of all parking stalls for the site, HOWEVER, the other option states 30% of all impervious surfaces area. Please clarify.
Ideally, I would like to use the underground parking in combination with the landscape shading and SRI 29 rated hardscape for a total of 30%, but it seems to good to be true!

Michele,
How did this shake out? Did you submit your project and get a response? I would guess that you could use a combination of strategies that includes underground parking, but that your total would have to be 50% instead of 30%. That being said, I don't have experience to confirm this. If you could share your results, that would be much appreciated!
