A. If the proposed parking area plan submitted pursuant to PTMC 17.72.170 would require elimination of one or more existing on -street parking spaces within the C -III zoning district, the parking requirements prescribed in PTMC 17.72.080 are increased by two off-street spaces for each on -street space to be eliminated; provided, that the building official may waive all or part of any such increase upon a showing to his/her satisfaction that one or more of the spaces to be eliminated had been created by permission of the applicant within the six years preceding the proposed building, use or expansion. B. If, however, such parking area plan would restore one or more existing on -street parking spaces within the C -III zoning district by reducing existing curb cuts or other conflicts, the off- street parking requirements prescribed in PTMC 17.72.080 are reduced by two off-street parking spaces for each on -street parking space restored by said plan. C. The required number of off-street parking spaces provided for commercial, mixed use, and multifamily residential properties outside the C -III historic commercial district that are being developed, redeveloped, or expanded shall be reduced by two spaces for each on -street parking space provided adjacent to a site. The design, placement, and proposed construction standard of on -street parking spaces will be reviewed and approved by the public works director. Due to the high level of traffic, on -street parking may not be possible along Sims Way or other streets as determined by public works.
