BZA FINDINGS
• BZA supported the redevelopment project
• BZA acknowledged the existing parking
concerns for the businesses on International

• Off-site satellite parking lot is reasonable

• Until a long term solution is found, the offsite satellite parking lot with the restrictions
was a reasonable compromise
