- To reorganize Section 6 – Parking and Loading Standards to distinguish between the parking area design for five or fewer vehicles versus six or more vehicles.
- To allow more flexible parking design and removing landscaping and snow storage requirements when a lot only requires five or fewer parking spaces to reflect the recent change of allowing up to four dwelling units on a lot.
