Tiew uses were excluded because C a equate perking, should be
provided by design via appropriat-e standards of the Zoning Ordiriance .
A
J_dsti,ng, uses coroprebtended by tlie proposed amendmerit would be:
I. Those of two or more years duration;
24 Those for Eah ch -evidence shoros -a parking imidequacy
dve to:
(a) A change- 5,.n the natu,'.,e of the use with'Ln a.
zone;
(b) A ron-conforming land use wherein the cieficiency

Cf,-.mYiriisb'f.on concerns with pedestrian safety and discouraging
proliferation of accessory parking facilities were the basis of the
recor=lei-Ld.ation for restrictions ,
It is recomme-nded that accessory parking ohould not be
permitted at a location. which would require Pedestrians to cross
