High School Campus With No New Parking

Hi Keelan, We have had two NC projects that were additions that had existing parking. And we have also had several CI projects on a campus with joint parking. In both cases, we allocated spaces to the projects based on code and SF. Then provided the carpool spaces. So no, you are not meeting the intent because you are in effect expecting to use the parking that is there. But the heart of your question is the FTEs, and I don't have any experience with how this question is typically addressed for schools. My gut feeling is that you need to include at least some of the students because some must drive. There must be some metric on how many high school students drive. You could use that to include some reasonably conservative number of the student FTEs. The reference guide also suggests that you can adjust the carpool equation if expectations are different. Perhaps a school context might also suggest a different carpooling pattern which might benefit your calc. If you are willing to create some carpool spaces, it seems to me that you should be able to establish a reasonable, defensible number. Make a good case. Good luck.
