Minimum Exceedance Required The number of additional off-street vehicle parking spaces allowed beyond that specified by Section 5.10.3.D, Maximum Number of Off-Street Vehicle Parking Spaces, shall be limited to the minimum number of additional spaces recommended as needed by the required parking demand study.

This alternative and these standards (except Section 5.10.9.C.4, Signage Directing Public to Parking Spaces) may also be applied to bicycle parking.
