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

Case 1 Option 2 vs. Case 2 Option 2

Case 1 and Case 2 are distinguished by whether your CI is more than 75% of the building or not. But Option 2 reads very differently depending on which case you are. Option 2 of Case 1 indicates that no parking can be provided or subsidized for tenants, whereas Option 2 of Case 2 merely says that no new parking is added. So you can occupy 80% of a building which comes with structured tenant parking provided and achieve this credit as long as you add the carpool signage. However if you only occupy 74% of this same building, you could not achieve this credit at all. Does anyone understand the thinking here?

If you occupy 74% you could still pursue Case 1, Option 1 -- just make sure the lease agreement states the "right" number of parking spaces (that meets local zoning regulations for that tenant's SF & use) that are allotted to the tenant and add the tenant's preferred signage for 5% of their spaces. If you occupy 80%, you could pursue Case 2, Option 2 -- as you mentioned, you'd have to add the signage for 5% of all the parking spaces.
