Development Permit Application — 2267 Elgin Avenue File 10/91
Planning and Development Committee ~ March 20, 1991

1, That the Planning Department be authorized to draft Development Permit
10/91; and

2. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the document, when
completed, subject to:

a. The applicant being advised that if the alteration exceeds 25% of the
current assessed value of the existing building, ther. the entire
building must be sprinklered;

That the applicant be advised that Building Code requirements will be
reviewed at the time of Building Permit application; and

All improvements and additions proposed to be undertaken in one phase.

A dental clinic has operated for a number of years at 2267 Elgin Avenue.
The clinic is located in a single family residence that was reconditioned for

the commercial use.

PROPOSED DESIGN:

The applicants are proposing a 924 square feet addition to their existing
building.

If guidelines for the Downtown Development Permit Area were to be
followed, this addition should be located in the front of the existing
building, to bring it closer to the front property line. The appearance of
the building should also be amended to reflect its commercial character and
respond to the intent of the design guidelines, which is to relate any new
building to the character of the downtown, as dictated by the Municipal Hall.

The location of the proposed addition at the front would necessitate the
complete reorganization of the interior of the existing building; the
applicant has stated that such work is not feasible from the point of view of

hig e*sonomic means.

The applicant, however has proposed to modify the front of the building,
to bring it in line with the commercial character of the area and somehow
reflecting the “circa 1913" motif for the Downtown core.
