Let me go into the issue of not enough spaces per "code requirements".
I've looked into commercial properties, and more often than not, the amount of parking is a FRACTION of what the code requires. You have to keep in mind in many cases, the municipal authorities has to approve the final design.
In one case, I met the head of of the "planning board", and was advised municipal officials made the decision to go ahead anyway in the interest of "creating jobs", because the complex would NOT be built if municpal officials insisted on the exact amount of parking spaces required, per code, and he cited the number of jobs that would be lost, and revenues lost due to the added parking space requirement.
