The P-1 Vehicular Parking District is intended to provide locations for publicly or privately owned off-street parking for passenger vehicles in areas where the public interest justifies the sitting of such parking. Usually this parking is designed to serve a district which has developed without adequate off-street parking facilities. It also may serve as a transitional use buffer between residential and nonresidential uses.

Public off-street parking lots and garages, subject to regulations imposed by the City.

(b)

Private off-street parking facilities, including parking lots and community garages, subject to the following:
