We are working in Colombia on a new 4,840sqft "dinning room facility" that will serve all users 24/7 of already existing administrative offices and truck drivers (this existing facilities are not certified).
The existing buildings within the property and part of the same company, already have parking lot, distributed in the area.
The question is, can we use those existing parking spaces to comply with LEED requirements?
Hope you can help me.
Best regards!

Edgar, it's helpful with this credit to think about which compliance path you are pursuing and how your situation matches up with that. I'd suggest reviewing the various options provided in the credit language (see above) and checking how they match with your situation. Which path do you want to pursue?

Are you adding any parking, or will any parking be in your LEED project boundary?If not, why not go with Option 3?

We can pursue Option 3, no problem, but what will happen if we want to comply with SScr4.3 - Option 1? Can we use the existin parking lots?
Those existing parking spaces are providing service to the existent facilities... and will be the same for the new LEED building.

If you want to go down this path (Option 1), where I think you're going is to designate 5% of all parking on the plant as preferred for vanpools and carpools. That's how I understand your question of complying with Option 1 for parking that is not in your LEED project boundary. Let me know if I am misunderstanding.

You are correc Tristn.
No new parking for SScr4.4 (option 3 ). Check.
And for SScr4.3 complying with Option 1 for parking that is not in our LEED project boundary.
