The City Planning Commission may permit a parking facility listed in paragraph (a) of Section 13-45 (Special Permits for
Additional Parking Spaces), where such parking facility would serve the parking needs of a health care, arts or public assembly
#use#, provided that, in addition to the conditions and findings set forth in Section 13-45, the Commission shall find that:

(a)    the proposed parking facility is either in close proximity to or on the same #zoning lot# as one or more of the following
        #uses# :
        (1)    non-profit, voluntary or proprietary hospitals and related facilities, listed under Use Group III(B)



        (2)    museums, listed in Use Group III(B);



        (3)    art, music, dancing or theatrical studios, or theaters, listed under Use Group VIII; or



        (4)    an arena, auditorium, trade exposition or stadium, listed under Use Group VIII or, where permitted by special
                permit, pursuant to Section 74-182 or other government agency approvals;



(b)    an increased number of permitted off-street parking spaces in such proposed parking facility is essential to the operation
        of such health care, arts or public assembly #use#; and



(c)    reasonable measures to minimize parking demand have been identified. For existing or #enlarged# health care, arts or
        public assembly #uses#, such measures shall have been implemented, where feasible, prior to application, and a
        commitment by the applicant shall be made, in a form acceptable to the Commission, to continue and, where necessary,
        improve upon and supplement such measures. For new health care, arts or public assembly #uses#, such measures shall
        be committed to in a form acceptable to the Commission.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area.
