I was just reading about the new OMC2 at Edmonds on the Urban YVR site and they are making a big deal about the parking requirements.

As the new building is primarily a data centre, the amount of parking needed is minimal. However, in an ironic twist for a building designed for a transit authority, the zoning bylaw in Burnaby requires an additional 183 parking stalls based on the site’s location within Edmonds Town Centre.

While a 155 or 183 parking lot might seem like overkill for a data centre aren't they completely missing the fact that this parking is also going to have to service the existing OMC2 building (there are already 130-140 surface parking spaces as is)
Current building is 91,000 square feet and the new one is 40,000 square feet. 126 spaces for 62,485 square feet of office (though that's the "required" amount of spaces)
