Inquiry

Our DC area condominium project (100 residential occupants) does not provide parking on-site. Parking is available at an existing public garage adjoining our building.\n\nBased on the SS c4.4 4/28/2003 CIR ruling, we intend to capture the credit for the residential tenants by providing (1) a carpool rider board located in the building\'s common area (2) a clearly marked drop-off area located nearest to our building entrance that allows 30 minute parking for at least one vehicle, and (3) exemplary parking reductions; i.e., no parking provided for the tenants.\n\nThe municipal garage will not indicate that drop-off area is for carpool vehicles only as required by the CIR ruling. They have, however, provided several metered spaces adjacent to our building entrance with a maximum parking time of 30 minutes.\n\nBased on the SS c4.3 11/4/2002 CIR ruling, we do not intend to incorporate a prorated area of the parking garage into the project\'s site area for the purpose of other credits, as only the building is applying for certification.\n\nPlease confirm that the this project will meet the intent of SS credit 4.4 by providing a rider board and drop off area for the tenants and that this credit can be achieved without extending the project site boundary to include the garage when determining achievement of other credits.\n
