FAQs about SSc4.4 :

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?

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”?

Hi there, For our project in StJohn's, Newfoundland, we are providing 3 Barrier Free spaces and 3 Maintenance Parking spaces (for maintenance facility users to use, but are not always used). We would like to know if for CASE 1 NON RESIDENTIAL OPTION 3 (5% for NC), can we count one of these Maintenance Parking spaces as a Carpooling space? Or does the Carpooling Space (we only need 1) have to be a special designated space? Thanks!

Hi Tim, unless the maintenance parking space is open for all users (which it doesn't sound like it is), I would say this could be a hard sell. Also keep in mind this space needs to be preferred, ie typically closest to the main entrance.
