When it is not possible to allocate preferred parking nearest to the building entrance, (for example, in residential projects, where each unit is allotted a specific parking spot in the lot), consider providing parking discounts for drivers of LE and FE vehicles instead. The discount must be at least 20% below the regular parking rate and available to all occupants with a LE or FE vehicle. The higher the discount, the stronger the incentive.
If you must purchase or rent additional parking spaces in an adjacent parking area to meet the requirement, this will bring additional costs.

If your project is providing the minimum number of parking spaces required by zoning laws (to comply with SSc4.4, for example), your local city zoning board may have initial reservations about reducing the number of available spaces. But you may be able to resolve this by emphasizing that “preferred parking” status is applicable to a large and growing number of cars.

Alternatively, if the LEED boundary includes a multi-story garage that serves multiple buildings in addition to the LEED project, all the parking spaces within the LEED boundary must be included for calculations even if only a portion of the parking area
Alternatively, if the LEED boundary includes a multi-story garage that serves multiple buildings in addition to the LEED project, all the parking spaces within the LEED boundary must be included for calculations even if only a portion of the parking area is expected to be for the project building’s use.
Calculations should be based on any parking spaces within the LEED project boundary. If some of the parking associated with the building is onsite and some is off-site, confirm the appropriate approach with GBCI.
