Hi all,
I have an issue properly defining the project boundary for a Train Station on a large overall site which includes the station, outdoor plaza, train platforms, large parking lots, a substation, and service buildings for the train maintenance crew. We only intend to certify the the actual station building which houses 2 ticket sales people but all of the construction is under one contract. I understand that the "LEED project boundary must include all contiguous land that is associated with and supports normal building operations for the LEED project boundary", as of now my logic is to include the station, the outside plaza (which has bus drop off, benches, and bike racks), and the closest parking deck (ticket sales employees would park there). The rest of the site I would exclude because the station does not rely on the platform, train maintenance facilities, and train parking lot to operate. If I am forced to include the entire site under construction, I will be less than 2% gross building floor area compared to site area.

I don't want to be accused of "gerrymandering"
Please assist with this issue

Thanks for your help!
