What is the point value for Core and Shell projects under the Reduced Parking Footprint credit?

The point value for Core and Shell projects under the Reduced Parking Footprint credit is indeed 1 point. This credit aims to reduce the amount of parking provided at a project site, encouraging alternative transportation options and minimizing the environmental impact of excessive parking. In the context of Core and Shell projects, this point allocation reflects the recognition that these projects may not have full control over all aspects of parking.

By achieving this credit, the project demonstrates commitment to sustainable site development practices, specifically through the reduction of car dependency. It also aligns with LEED's overall objective of promoting smart growth and supporting the use of public transportation, cycling, and other means of sustainable commuting. Therefore, the point value is set to 1 for Core and Shell projects to reflect a foundational approach to reducing parking, while also recognizing the limitations that these types of projects may face.
