Our project is on a campus, where there is an existing parking ramp nearby. There will be "no new parking" used on SSc4.4. If we can come up with a reasonable percentage of the parking ramp to be utilized for the new project building for PIf2, can we use that to establish the 5% required for this credit using Option 1? The owner does have control of the ramp, and could install the required signage.

Yes, you can still achieve SSc4.3 with preferred parking signage for spaces that serve your building, even if you qualify for the no new parking option for SSc4.4. If the spaces on the ramp are intended to serve more than one building, there is a chance that the reviewers are going to make you state that the reserved spaces are for the LEED building only. I often get a lot of pushback from clients about doing this so my approach is usually to try to achieve the credit without it until I get a comment back specifically directing me to add that verbiage to the sign.
