Notwithstanding Section 65906, a variance may be granted from the parking requirements of a zoning ordinance in order that some or all of the required parking spaces be located offsite, including locations in other local jurisdictions, or that in-lieu fees or facilities be provided instead of the required parking spaces, if both the following conditions are met:
(a) The variance will be an incentive to, and a benefit for, the nonresidential development.
(b) The variance will facilitate access to the nonresidential development by patrons of public transit facilities, particularly guideway facilities.
