No public comments were received as a result of this public circulation of this application.
Committee asked questions of the agent who appeared before the Committee regarding the parking study and the accessible parking spaces. Committee discussed the merit of approving a minor variance to allow 0 accessible parking spaces but imposing a condition to require an accessible parking space as the existing space may be undersized and therefore not considered accessible under the Zoning By-law.
The applicant requested that the application be amended and Committee agreed to the request.
Committee has taken into consideration, on balance, any and all submissions made before its decision including 1 written submission. They have also considered all relevant materials including: information provided by the applicant, plans submitted, and staff and agency comments, and the majority of the members have determined that the application is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development on the subject property, and that the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law and the Official Plan are maintained.
Accordingly, the Committee resolves to authorize and grant the request.
