Districts, for #public parking garages# with a total of 150 spaces or less, the Board of Standards and Appeals may permit floor
space on one or more #stories# to be exempted from the definition of #floor area# as set forth in Section 12-10
(DEFINITIONS), provided that all floor space so exempted is located not more than 23 feet above #curb level# and provided
that the following findings are made:

(a)    that the additional floor space permitted is needed in order to prevent excessive on-street parking demand and relieve
        traffic congestion; and

(b)    that the hazards or disadvantages to the community at large resulting from the additional floor space permitted are
        outweighed by the advantages to be derived by the community therefrom under the conditions and safeguards imposed.

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