This subdivision sets minimum standards for off-street requirements for new construction and expansion of or changes to existing uses. The purpose of this section is to ensure that uses have a minimum level of off-street parking to avoid congestion on surrounding streets while avoiding excessive parking, discouraging pedestrian access, driving up the cost of development and inviting excessive levels of traffic congestion, which creates increases in flooding and non-point source pollution. On-street parking is also encouraged in some locations in order to provide a buffer between pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
