Off -Street Parking, Loading and Transportation E. Landbanked Parking. 1. Where an applicant demonstrates that the parking requirements for a proposed use would be excessive, the reviewing authority may defer the construction of a portion of the required parking to a time in the future when it becomes apparent to the City that the parking spaces need to be constructed. The development plan shall designate areas of the site for future construction of the required parking spaces, meeting the design and dimensional requirements of this chapter. Any area so designated shall be maintained in a landscaped appearance and not occupy required street lawns or buffer zones or be used for any other purpose. 2. The landbanked parking shall meet the requirements of this chapter if constructed. Construction of the additional parking spaces within the landbanked parking area may be initiated by the owner or required by the City, based on parking needs or observation, and shall require approval of an amended development plan which may be approved by the Planning and Development Director. F. Maximum Allowed Parking. In order to minimize excessive areas of pavement that detract from aesthetics, contribute to high rates of storm water runoff and generate reflective heat, the minimum parking space requirements of this section shall not be exceeded by more than 20%, unless approved by the reviewing authority as part of development plan review or if the parking spaces are located within a multi-level parking structure. In approving additional parking spaces, the reviewing authority shall determine that the parking is necessary, based on documented evidence, to accommodate the use on a typical day. Further, any parking spaces provided in excess of 20% more than the minimum requirement shall only be located on permeable surfaces approved by the City Engineer.

C. Each 24 in0h6s of bench, pew or similar seating facilities shall be counted as one (1) seat, except if specltications and plans filed with a building permit application specify a maximum seating capacity, that number may be used as the basis for required parking spaces.
