If we provide tandem parking within our building (tandem spaces will be used for valet parking), should we leave these out of the total spaces?
I mean, lets say I have 50 regular spaces and 50 tandem spaces. Should I provide 5% of the 50 regular spaces, or 5% or the 100 spaces?
Thank you.

David, I would assume that the valet spaces should not be included in the credit calculations.

Tristan or anyone else, can you confirm it is OK to exclude all valet parking spaces in credit calculations? We have a project which has both self and valet parking spaces and I am not positive on how to treat those spaces and which number of total site parking spaces to use.
Thanks!

You cannot exclude valet spaces. The most straighforward approach here would be to provide preferred parking for 5% of all self-parking spaces and a 20% valet discount for all low emitting and fuel efficient vehicles.
