(1)

The site must be shown to have the capability to accommodate the minimum number of parking spaces required for the proposed land use.

(2)

The area remaining unpaved must be allocated to green space and is in addition to the minimum green space requirement for the site.

This requirement is subject to 12 months' written notice for service/institutional uses and three months' written notice for all other land uses.
