Parking structures may be permitted provided that the Planning Board determines that their design, placement and operation will not adversely impact public health or safety or the character of the area and that their design will be compatible with the existing and proposed architectural character of the area. Said structures will not be counted toward maximum developable area and may not exceed thirty(30) feet in height." Replace the current wording of Subsection F with the following:
