A reduces parking but just meeting local code is the LEED answer.

Providing carpool programs, shuttle services, etc. while providing no more parking spaces as required by local code helps encourage alternative transportation.

A strategy to indirectly help earn Maximize Open Space is to install less parking, or the minimum the project can get away with (depending on local code). Less paved surfaces for parking will allow the project team to use the unpaved areas open space.

For the purposes of LEED, open space is the property area minus the development footprint, when local zoning does not define open space.

C would maximize the amount of parking, not reduce it.

D reduces parking but just meeting local code is the LEED answer.
