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 serves the parking needs of a non-#residential use# not otherwise listed
in paragraph (a) of Section 13-452, 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 in close proximity to or on the same #zoning lot# as a #commercial# #use#, #community
        facility# #use# or #manufacturing# #use# that is of significant importance to the economic well-being of the City of
        New York;

(b)    an increased number of permitted off-street parking spaces in such proposed parking facility is essential to the operation
        of such #use#; and

(c)    reasonable measures to minimize parking demand have been identified. For existing or #enlarged# #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 #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.
