Visitors to and employees <br />of any of the existing businesses can park on any of the surface parking in the shopping <br />center. The proposed development will continue to use a shared parking arrangement <br />for the entire center.

Similarly, anyone visiting the businesses that are <br />currently operating on the site would be able to utilize the surface parking planned as <br />part of the proposed development. Parking for the new residences would be <br />accommodated in the garage or in designated spaces adjacent to the residential <br />buildings.
