In order to accommodate the expected Increased demand for parkmg. the PetItIoner IS seekmg a vanance to allow for the placement of parkIng wIthm the penpheral greenbelt along the western boundary of the Property The mcrease In parkIng serves to accommodate the expected demand of parkmg for the commerclal office/warehouse use on the Property The Property's SIze, combIned wlth the addltIonal buffer reqUlrements along the western and northern boundanes, hmIt the available space on the Property for addltIonal parkIng.
