A 50,000 SF (4,645 m2) retail project has a baseline parking capacity of 4 parking spaces / 1,000 SF (4.3/100 m2) from the ITE handbook. The project will earn 1 point under LT Credit Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses and 1 point under LT Credit Access to Quality Transit. Which is the maximum number of parking spaces the project can have and still earn LT Credit Reduced Parking Footprint?
A: 200 spaces
B: 120 spaces
C: 160 spaces
D: 40 spaces
E: 80 spaces

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Notes:A 20% reduction is required for projects that DO NOT earn points under LT Credit Surrounding Density AND Diverse Uses and LT Credit Access to Quality Transit.
A 40% reduction is required for projects that DO earn points under LT Credit Surrounding Density OR Diverse Uses and LT Credit Access to Quality Transit.
The question states the project will earn points for both credits. What does that mean? It\'s still 40%. Earning both credits, however, doesn\'t mean that the project requires more than a 40% reduction. Exemplary performance can be earned, but it\'s based on the % reduction from Case 1 or Case 2.
50,000 SF / 1,000 SF = 50 X 4 parking spaces = 200 space baseline
200 spaces X 40% = 80 space REDUCTION
Here is another area where people mess up their math. The credit requires a reduction from the baseline, so it\'s important to pay attention to what the question asks, as it\'s likely that test-takers will see an answer choice for both the reduction and the total. This question asked for the total spaces the project could have, not what the reduction is.
200 spaces - 80 space reduction = 120 spaces total.
Additionally, the minimum local code requirements for parking spaces must not be exceeded.
