3373 Raleigh Street
Application for Development Variance Permit
Planning and Development Committee — November 13, 1990

RECOMMENDATION :

That Council P8SS a resolution authorizing the Planning Department to
prepare Development Variance Permit No. 55/90 subject to:

The applicant submitting a Rezoning Application to rezone the Property
from RT-1 to RS-23 and;

2. The applicant providing a written statement acknowledging that the

rezoning will prevent the construction of a duplex on the properties.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The applicant bought the Property at 3373 Raleigh Street with the
intention of building two Single family houses. The property is made up of
two 33' lots.

When the applicant subinitted for a building permit, he was advised the
zoning on these properties was RT-1 (Iwo-Family Residential).

DISCUSSION:

Single family houses on RT-1 property require sideyard setbacks of not
less than 1.8 m (5.91 ft.) on each side; on 10 m (33 ft.) lots the building
width would be 6.4m (21 ft.). In RS~2 zoned Property, the sideyards are only
1.2m (3.94 ft.), therefore a 7.6m (25 ft.) building is possible.

The applicant has applied for a development variance to vary the
sideyard setbacks from 1.8 m (5.91 ft.) to 1.2 m (3.94 ft.).

The Planning Department does not have a problem granting the variance of
interior sideyard setbacks Providing that the applicant rezones the property
from RT-1 te RS~2 (Small Lot Residential), which will mean in the future the
property owner will not be able to build a duplex on these properties.
