It’s a thing virtually everywhere in NA, and usually is set to the maximum expected demand for parking. Which means malls and big stores need enough parking spaces to accomodate Black Friday levels of traffic.
Land area wise most malls/shopping centers in the USA are about 50% parking lot. It’s absurd. I regularly hear people mention a store/location and then the praise/complaints about the parking there.
I’d never heard of mandatory minimum parking until now. That sounds horrendous.
