A reduction of 25% shall also be permitted if the property owner or developer submits written documentation of an ongoing, formally-established bike-and-shower or car pool program at the principal use of the premises and the commissioner >>of neighborhood services<< determines that the bike-and-shower program or car pool program is of sufficient magnitude and duration to warrant the reduction.
