Somehow I suspect parking was not the actual concern, but just an excuse to prevent a facility for mentally ill from being built in the neighborhood. These types of zoning regulations often get weaponized in this way.

MODERATORS
An affordable rental project for residents living with mental illness failed to cross the finish line in Port Coquitlam [Part of Vancouver Metro Area] council chambers recently, with several councillors expressing concern about the shortage of parking.
B.C. Housing proposed a six-storey building at 2365 and 2371 Kelly Avenue for residents with disabilities – prioritizing residents with mental illness. The units would be offered at either rent-geared-to-income or shelter allowance rates.
