FAQs about SSc4.4 :

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the  ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

Temporary Parking Question

My project is a group project on a college campus with 2 phases. We are going to be certifying each phase separately. The Phase 1 scope includes a temporary parking lot being created in the location where phase 2 will occur. This parking lot (gravel), will be removed when phase 2 begins. Besides this temporary lot (for construction purposes), no new permanent parking is being added to the site for either phase. Can this lot be omitted from the parking count and therefore qualify my project for the "no new parking" requirement in this credit? Thanks...

Todd, I would say so, but the devil is in the details as to document this in a credible way.It seems that a clean approach would be to put the lot into the LEED boundary for the phase 2 project, as it sounds like the lot will be affected by both projects.
