ing twenty -five per cent (25) of the area of the site,
whichever is the greater, provided no off - street parking
accomodations need be provided where properties have a
depth of one hundred and sixty (160) feet or less. In
computing car capacity of a parking area a unit of three
hundred fifteen (315) square feet per car shall be allowed.

amount equal to twenty -five per cent (25%) of the area
of properties contained within a block where such block
consists of a site or sites completely surrounded and bound-
ed by streets or railroads, and provided such common park-
ing facilities shall be not farther than six hundred and
sixty (660) feet from the properties within the same block
to be served thereby.
fin. PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR iMf ZONE MAY BE
MODIFIED BY PLANNING COMMISSION. In the event that, be-
cause of size, shape, topography or placement, any given
block or portion of a block cannot practically be provided
with a useable area as herein required within its borders,
the Planning Commission may, in the manner provided by
law, develop an official plan for an area consisting of
a part of a block, a whole of a block or more than one
block, indicating precisely the manner in which such required
- 11 -

parking area may be practically provided, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the areas to be employed for parking
facilities may not individually attach to each block or
portion of a block, and upon the adoption of such official
plan, parking facilities and other features of develop-
ment shall conform thereto. Such official plan may con-
stitute the special circumstances required to validate

erties to conformity to the official plan.

indicated on a subdivision of record or on an official
plan, shall be approved by the Planning Commission as to
