That's good to hear a reduction was able to be approved. Nine spaces is even enough square footage for an additional apartment per level, if that's what they were building. It would nice to see more developers push for less parking in favour of more living space.
Surely it's in their interest, with revenue coming from the housing not the car park. Of course, this is a difficult status quo to challenge. It's almost as if a building would need constructing on half a parcel, follow the parking minimum, then the units only be rented to people without cars simply to prove it can be done. Then put up a second building.
It would be a bit silly to build a literal proof of concept, though sometimes an example people can lay eyes on is a necessity.
