Finally, the proposed Code amendment would allow reduction of one (1) <br />vehicular parking space or reduction of required landscaping if the necessary <br />bicycle parking pursuant to the Design Guidelines could not be accommodated <br />due to site constraints or esthetic considerations. <br />E. The Planning Commission has, following a duly noticed public hearing, on <br />May 11, 2009, recommended approval of this Ordinance. <br />F.
