FAQs about SSc3.3 :

Why are the CI designated parking requirements in Cases 1 and & 2 Option 1 determined by a Full Time Equivalent of tenant space/building while for New Construction the requirements are simply a percentage of parking provided?

If a CI project occupies a building that has existing parking, but no designated parking to the tenant, can it pursue “no parking will be provided"?

CI-2009 SSc3.3:Alternative Transportation—Parking Availability

Minimum number required by local zoning regs

I'm not so savvy with how local zoning regs are worded. I did search for my city's local zoning regs and I'm not sure if what I found is it. Anyway, does this mean that a municipality will say something like "Your high rise building has 10 floors with a max occupancy of 2600 people and so you have to have a parking garage that will hold at least 40% of your max occupancy." In our case, we will be occupying 1/2 of one floor in a high rise and we might be assigned some of our own parking (pending negotiations with owner). How do I determine what our office's min parking is? I'm a little confused by this credit. Can anyone shed some light?

Is there someone in the municipal planning office who could help you? In my experience the relevant information is found in the zoning regs for whatever zone you are in. Something like what you said might be roughly what one might find.I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I think the answer is to be found in the zoning, and the planning office would be the go-to resource for understanding that.

Hi Patricia, I agree w. Tristan - contact your local Planning and Development Dept. Some jurisdictions will determine zoning based on a ratio of one required parking space per x number of gross square feet (1:200, or 1:300, etc.) depending on the building type.

THANK YOU Tristan and Edgar. I'm going to do that. Thanks again!
