(A) Off-street parking spaces shall be required for all new development in the city in accordance with the requirements and standards of this section. If there is doubt that sufficient parking can be provided, the matter shall be referred to the Planning Commission for review and approval.
(B) The standards and requirements expressed in this section shall be considered the minimum requirements. Any land use that is not specifically listed in this section shall use the same requirements as the listed use that is most similar. The Planning Commission shall make the final determination when similarity is not apparent, which may be based in part on documentation provided by the applicant to justify the proposal.
(C) Adjustments to established parking standards may be made by the Planning Commission at the time of the site plan review. Any reduction in the number of required spaces shall be based on the approval criteria for a variance, as included in § 154.418 or on specific documentation provided by the applicant showing why the required number of spaces will not be necessary and how the parking demands will be met.
