Two-story office building attached to warehouse

Hi, I am working on a project that consists of a two-story office building attached to a warehouse, both of which belong to the same owner. The scope of work make the project more appropriate for the New Construction and Major Renovations rating system: complete interior fit-out and installation of brand new HVAC system for the office building, construction of a non-bearing wall dividing the office space from the warehouse, exterior cladding of the front facade of the building, and some roof alterations and reparations. Now, the tricky part is: Initially we wanted to certify just the office building and exclude the warehouse from the LEED boundary, because the work in the warehouse is minimal. However, after reading the attached buildings exception, part III "Buildings attached to non-LEED-certified buildings", section 1, it seems that this is impossible if both buildings belong to the same owner (the project is a major renovation). It this correct, or am I missing something? If I cannot exclude the warehouse, would I have troubles certifying the project given that it is mixed use (office space and warehouse), and that the work in the warehouse is minimal? Thanks for your help!
