(B)
The director may reduce the parking space requirement triggered by a site plan or site plan revision application filed to relocate a facility as a direct result of right-of-way condemnation if the director determines that a reduction:
(1)
is reasonable given the present and anticipated future traffic volumes generated by the use of the site or the use of a nearby site; and
(2)
will not:
(a)
result in parking or loading on a public street that interferes with the free flow of traffic; or
(b)
create a safety hazard.
(C)
The director may reduce the parking space requirement for an existing developed site or for a site covered by a released, unexpired site plan on March 11, 1996 if the director determines that a reduction of the parking requirement is necessary to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act accessibility standards or the Uniform Building Code accessibility standards.
(D)
The director may not reduce a parking requirement under Subsections (B) and (C) to less than 80 percent of the standard parking requirement.
(E)
A reduction in a parking space requirement granted under Subsection (B) runs with the use to which it pertains and does not run with the land.
