Parking and driveways shall be permitted as an accessory use in accordance with the standards and regulations of Chapter 1162 Off-Street Parking and Loading except as modified herein.
(a) The parking provided to satisfy the requirements for non-residential uses in this PPDD may be on surface parking lots or in enclosed garages or structured parking decks. Any structured parking proposed above the grade of the site at the time the Preliminary Development Plan is approved, as it may be amended, shall be considered a building and set back from property lines as set forth in Schedule 1175.06(b).
(b) The required parking for residential uses shall be enclosed parking which is either attached to the dwelling or has direct indoor/enclosed access from the parking garage to the dwelling unit. In addition, one guest parking space at grade shall be provided for every three (3) dwelling units and these spaces shall be reasonably distributed throughout the development to provide the maximum convenience to each dwelling unit.
(c) The minimum required parking for retail uses shall be three and one half (3.5) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area and for office uses three (3) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area.

(e) Drive aisles providing direct access to parking spaces shall be a minimum of twenty-two (22) feet in width.
(f) Notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this Section, the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve a lesser amount of parking than required taking into consideration: the hours of operation of uses; the overlap in parking demand by different adjacent uses; and the operating characteristics of the specific uses proposed. The land areas resulting from such parking reductions shall be improved as landscaped green space areas, as approved in the Final Development Plan, until such time as they may be needed as surface parking as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(g) The design of the parking areas and related circulation, landscaping, open space, and pedestrian areas shall be as approved on the Preliminary Development Plan, as it may be amended.
