As pointed out earlier, this parking standard has <br />been a source of ambiguity, since the number of required parking spaces for the Mall are <br />expressed as a single number, not as a range; and the Project entitlements are expressed in <br />Gross Floor Area, not Net Square Footage. <br />It is recommended that the parking standard for the Mall Uses be simplified to a single parking <br />ratio, rather than a range; and that the standard be adjusted to apply to Gross Floor Area, <br />rather than Net Square Footage, consistent with other parking standards.
