I’m all for reducing parking lots, but I’m wondering what it has to do with meat and produce.

it seems to be that they want to make it easier to establish full-service grocery stores instead of just dollar stores and that was a requirement they slashed to accomplish that:

In addition to the dispersal requirement, the ordinance seeks to foster a “greater diversity in retail options and convenient access to fresh meats, fruits and vegetables.” To this end, it incentivizes the development of grocery stores in the district by reducing parking requirements by 50 percent.

the full ordinance is here.
