I double checked. They have 450 parking spaces and 308 apartments, some of which are studios, some 1. 2, 3 BR. Rents from ~$1250-~$6600. I believe a parking space is 9 x24=216 sf. In a private parking garage, you only need one way traffic, so I'm not sure you need 500 sf, but it seems to work in a relatively new building built in 2021. Sent a PM. In NH towns, we tend to want space around a building to drive fire trucks. In our cities, that seems to be less important, either because it's an old building (no codes) or newer, with fire retardant construction, sprinklers, etc. and too tall for ladders anyway, so setbacks may be smaller, allowing nearly full use of a parcel, especially if it is bounded by streets not other buildings.
