office buildings at one space for every two hundred and seventy-
five square feet.She stressed the need for greater parking
where this use occurs.
Chairman Michelson spoke against the proposal noting that the
City of South Miami presently has the strictest parking require
ments ofany municipalityandhe further suggestedthat medical
offices should require no more parkinq area than legal,account
ing a,id insurance offices which alL require large staffs.

more parking,but complaints concerning parking where almost
exclusively limited to medical offices.
