  • Application for a Zoning Bylaw Amendment

  • Proposal to allow for double car garages that exceed the maximum width permitted for the laneway townhouse dwelling units

  • Application submitted by KLM Planning Partners Inc. on behalf of Watersand Construction, Inc.

  • The Zoning Bylaw Amendment requested would maintain the property's Neighbourhood Residential (R5) Zone, with proposed special provisions:

    • reduce size of parking spaces from 2.7m x 5.5m to 2.5m x 5.5m

    • to not apply R5's Accessory Buildings and Structures Section 5.3.5 h) to detached garages on laneway townhouse dwellings – current zoning does not allow accessory buildings and structures to collectively exceed 10% lot coverage

    • to not apply maximum width of a private garage door regulations to laneway townhouse dwellings – current zoning does not allow the private garage to exceed 60% of the lot width

    • to increase the maximum width of a private garage door for a lot less than 7m from 2.7m to 4.9m

    • to increase the maximum width of a private garage door for a lot 7m-10m from 3.7m to 4.9m

    • to decrease the minimum front yard setback from 3m to 1.5m

    • to decrease the setback of detached garages from 2m to 0.6m from the street line

  • There were no comments from the public (not unusual, since there aren't many neighbours to this development).

  • Harvey (Ward Councillor) asked about impact on snow removal, and whether streets could be named after veterans
