That was exactly the strategy followed here. There was more, that, alas, could not be supported financially. The original plans called for a new green roof over the existing deck. It was fought for, vehemently, by the entire design team, developers included, but we could not defeat the number crunchers, and it was "value engineered" out. The same was true for Azure on the Park, over the low-rise portion...
By the way: the amount of parking is generally determined by the developers based on their market studies. Some zoning areas already allow very reduced parking numbers, but if the market is for two car families, two cars per unit will be designed...
