In recognition of the historic, compact character of buildings in the C-2 French Creek District, as well as the less efficient use of the floor area of those buildings, the Planning Commission may approve a development plan with a reduction in the requirements of Schedule 1292.04. In making a determination, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria.
(a) The character of the proposed use, the design of the building and the ability of the proposed use to reinforce the “main street” environment.
(b) The availability and accessibility of any public parking spaces, both on-street and within public parking lots.
(c) The availability of parking areas on adjacent sites, considering the hours of operation of the proposed use compared to adjacent uses.
(d) The potential negative impact to the character of the French Creek District if the requisite number of parking spaces is provided.
