If more than 10% of the total project area is non-residential space, you will need to follow two paths for the different portions (residential vs. non-residential) of the project. This may seem complicated but is really quite simple. Typically mixed-use buildings have separate parking for the commercial and residential portions of the building. In this case you would designate 5% of the commercial parking spaces as preferred parking.

Proceed depending on your chosen compliance path:
Option 1: Verify the proportions of residential and commercial areas in your project. If less than 10% of the development is commercial in nature, follow the requirements for Case 2 for residential spaces—see details above. If more than 10% of the development is commercial space, follow the requirements of Case 2 for the residential spaces, and Case 1 for the commercial portions—see details above.
Option 2: Verify that the project is not providing any new parking spaces.
