balance, I'm somewhat confused as I agree wholeheartedly with everything Ryan has said so far. Also, the parking requirements are not simply 'waived' as you suspect. I know business owners on King St and Locke St and they have to pay fees to the city each year for NOT having enough parking spaces as per city zoning requirements.
Sure, the city will let them open up their business or shop in a built-up urban area with no opportunity (short of demolishing surrounding buildings) to create off-road parking spaces, but will then charge them hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars each year as a penalty for not providing said parking spaces.
I'll repeat it again, the entire zoning system needs to be rewritten. This ain't the Meadowlands.
