Getting rid of parking minimums may propell the alternatives. What if businesses discover most ppl get to them by public transport/bike? They will demand authorities to accomodate those ppl so that profits will rise, or they will build themselves more infra(at least good bike parking) for this. Right now businesses are forced to accomodate car drivers even if sometimes it's not the best business decision and this might change. Also, less parking means more space, that can be used for different things like recreation zones or just building a mixed use building that will guarantee more clients to nearby local shops/businesses (depending on what the demand is ofc).
In other words getting rid of parking minimums allows ppl/businesses to experiment and see what's the best use for that land, be that a public space like parks, kids playfield, mixed use building, just another business, bike parking or something entirely else. Right now all that space was locked by strange laws with numbers taken from the air
