to the provisions of Chapter 18A of the Code of Miami-Dade County; if it is not to be used for parking on the top
deck, it shall be developed with landscaping, recreational facilities, etc., with
those portions devoted to landscaping being counted as open space pursuant to the
provisions of Section 33-222.3.
