1. Single-family dwellings: spaces for two automobiles;

In determining the number of spaces to be required under Subsection A4 of this Section, consideration shall be given to the parking needs of the proposed use as they relate to the particular location and to the surrounding area, to the end that the parking requirements will not be detrimental to the welfare of the general public and will not be injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood;
