This omission went unnoticed by all staff departments until the preparation of the ordinance in Code form. It is my recommendation that no attempt be made at this time to place such section in the Code text, but that the parking requirements for the C-C Zone be handled under the provisions of Resolution No. 3719, adopted under the D Overlay applicable to the same area. Because much of the area is already developed, without in every instance the required amount of privately owned off-street parking, I think it better to leave the matter more flexible as it is under the resolution than to freeze the parking requirements in the Code text, at least until the future development and use of the area is a little more crystalized.
