NC-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

ITE Study for use on Residential Projects

Hi, I have a Residential project that is adding new parking and has a local maximum parking requirement but no minimum parking requirement. The reference guide states that Non-Residential projects that have no minimum local zoning requirements may provide 25% fewer parking spaces than the applicable standard listed in the 2003 Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE) “Parking Generation” study, but it does not give that option for resiential projects. Has anyone successfully used the ITE Study approach for a residential project even though that option is not explicitly given in the reference guide? Or is my project just not eligible for this credit? Thanks!

The ITE study is at my office so I'm not sure offhand, but it may simply not have residential data to offer. The trouble is, what is your baseline?You may need to contact GBCI or get a CIR to see if there is a path for this credit on your project, if you want to proceed.
