The addition would therefore exceed the maximum 90~ (General Commercial) lot coverage requirement of Section 6-500, Table B. Presently, there is'no on premise customer parking for this building. The business depends on the parallel parking lanes provided along Main Street and in the 100 Blocks of North and South 2nd Streets.

A Setback and lot coverage, as be considered for Exception paragraph. section states that a Special deviate yard requirements in the yard exception on corner lots." "yard issues," are both eligible to under the provisions of this Paragraph C of the same section allows an exception: To waive or reduce off-street parking and loading requirements when the Board finds the same are unnecessary for the proposed use of the building or structure for which the special exception request applies.
