OK! I didn't think I would have to deal with this so soon. But, here it is: I have a condo that has two assigned parking places in the front of the unit. No garage, no carport. How would I report it in the SC grid?
 
There it is. I dealt with something silly about proper parking descriptions on the very first UAD report which required parking.

You don't deal with it. You move it to a line item, then adjusted it within the UAD grid line.

Specific line item: Specific Parking Description: /Subject / Comps / text:xxxxx(P)

Then you make a statement that you've described the difference on a line item, but applied the adjustment to the uad fill line.

UAD is a mess, this sucks. Mark my words; they'll hijack every single 1004 line over the next few years. You won't even have the bottom 3, before too long. UAD is an aggressive move towards automation and it seems a lot like the move towards eliminating the human appraiser.

"Garage/Carport (for Condominiums)
The appraiser should indicate the type of parking and number of spaces for each type identified for the subject property and each comparable property.
Reporting Format:
The appraiser should utilize the below abbreviations preceded by the number of parking spaces without spaces or delimiters between the types.
Additionally, the appraiser may use the additional space, as needed, for a text description. The PDF creator shall render a delimiter in the form of a semicolon (;) and insert the delimiter prior to the text description. Attributes such as assigned and owned may be noted within the text description.
If there is no off-street parking, the appraiser should enter “None”.
The appraiser may include all parking types if all types are present. If all types are not present, only the appropriate abbreviations should be used.

Abbreviated Entry
Parking Type
g Garage
cv Covered
op Open

Examples:
2g
1g1cv
1cv
None
None;street permit
1g1cv;1 Owned
2g1cv1op;1a 2ow
**Note: In the last example, the appraiser should note the use of any additional abbreviations within the report so that the reader can interpret the entry."

I have asked this same question in other threads. Per the info posted above from MK, it appears there is no exact UAD answer on this.
 
Don't know if is correct but I just used 2 car driveway for 2 spaces. Seems to be the most similar option for the available boxes.
