conditions that we have come up with and then of course, just last week, you and your colleagues from the board voted unanimously to remove parking minimums for any project whose sole frontage is on a street where the city is there and we do not want curb cuts. we always say that we will make things more efficient and more legible but we are definitely making it more legible. this will be a substantial improvement to the code and there is a lot of places where the minimum parking requirements shows up in the code and this really creates confusion, mainly for the smallest applicants. small property owners are small business owners who may not have the resources to hire an armada of land use attorneys or permit expediters to help them navigate our process. so this will make it very clear to people that they can have the right to remove parking and we would also support them doing this. and once again, this is not a bad on offstreet parking. developers will still be able to build parking. we expect, in most cases, they will want to. we were sitting around talking about this as a group and no one in the
