Inquiry

we are developing a >300,000 sf highrise residential project just south of downtown los angeles, in an area currently characterized by large, small, and mid-sized building, and also filled with many large surface parking lots. we seek guidance on how parking lots (which are not associated with any building) are to be considered in the calculator (or are they just ignored, like streets?), and whether one can just assume the intent of this credit is met by any project over 60,000 sf/acre in a dense urban core, regardless of immediately adjacent properties.
