However, if a more realistic ratio is used for retail space and dinner house styie restaurants, then a 21% reduction if parking requirements for nighttime and daytime uses, because the parking demand will be offset will be enough to match the parking proposed to be provided by the applicant. When the net square foota�e in the shopping center, less the mail, the mechanicat room and rest roo�ns, is compared to the pariting count provided, the overali ratio is 4.44 parking spaces per 1,400 sq.ft. The Zoning Code inclucfes conditions required for joint use of parking facilities (see Section 1121.15 Subd. l.b.{6}{a) -(c). These are noted beiow with staff's comments.
