Did not pass SPD my first time, I underestimated the site design vignette. This time I'd like to be sure I have it down. Please review.
Big thank you Coach and others for your help.

The east/west walk near the HCP parking spaces is redundant..

Providing the 3 accessible spaces is fairly easy, so just simply work out the standard spaces first, then apply the 3 accessible spaces. Additionally, I've found it extremely useful to simply draw the driveways out in straight shots rather than working with sketch rectangles. As long as you don't connect the ends, the drives will not connect. You can move them by clicking at the edge; clicking at the middle adds a control point, avoid this. Your accessible parking spaces are a bit too far from the office entry.

Thank you! I see now what you mean with the inadequate building separation. I will be more careful on that next time.Billygoatte02 wrote:When you set up the parking lots, think about how many rows the total number of standard spaces is divisible by. 30 Spaces = 1x30, 2x15, 3x10, etc. Then just draw them out on the plan.

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. Most of the SPD Vignette review books I've seen have this standard 4 row parking arrangement. Is it okay to get creative with the parking or is it recommended to stay in this 4 row design? A couple questions:
1. is it acceptable for the HCP to be off to the side as in this example? Yes, but they are the wrong size. Also do not draw walks for parking lot "islands".
2. Can the driveway intersect the parking driveway somewhere in the middle as in this example? Yes.
Thank you! Wish I had used this resource more earlier.
