FAQs about LTc7 :

My mixed-use building contains space types that aren’t listed in the Base Ratios table in the Reference Guide. How do I calculate the base ratio for my project?

I don’t have a copy of the Transportation Planning Handbook. How do I determine the base ratio for my project?

Can this credit be achieved if the project has no existing parking and is providing no new parking?

NC-v4 LTc7:Reduced parking footprint

Visitor & handicap Parking Spots when calculating provided parking.

Can a project exclude dedicated visitor and handicap parking spots for purposes of calculating total provided capacity?

If the Green Vehicles credit is also pursued could the dedicated EV parking spots also be excluded?

I saw an exception in the guidebook for being able to exclude fleet and inventory vehicles so it seems like some of the spot mentioned above which are not necessarily meant for general employee parking could also be excluded for purposes of the calculation. Anyone deal with this scenario on a project?

I don't think you can exclude visitor, ADA, and EV spaces for calculating total provided capacity, as those are part of the, well, for lack of a better phrase, the total provided capacity... ADA, EV, and visitor spaces all serve the building users - the people expected to arrive at the building - whereas fleet vehicles are bit like "process loads" -- they serve the building and are a function of it's operations. Fleet vehicles usually operate independently from the users arriving at the building as employees to do their work or as visitors to access it's services. Clearest example would be a fleet of delivery vehicles, such as at post office or a package delivery company like UPS.  Yes, in some cases, employees might use fleet vehicles to commute to and from work, but let's not go there.
