City Administrator File No. 25/90 JUN a ¥ 1909

Carlos Felip
Director of Planning

Hawthorne Lodge — 2111 Hawthorne Avenue
Application for Development Variance Permit
Planning and Development Committee — June 19, 1990

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Planning Department be authorized to draft
Development Variance Permit 25/90.

BACKGROUND:

The Hawthorne Lodge was developed under the provisions of a Land Use
Contract.

In the last few months, the Lodge applied and obtained Council approval
to amend the Land Use Contract to permit the construction of an elevator for
the building.

When the amendment of the Land Use Contract was submitted for
registration to the Land Titles Office, our Solicitors were informed that the
contract had never been properly registered. Due to changes in legislation,
it is no longer possible to register the Land Use Contract.

This situation makes the Hawthorne Lodge a legal non-conforming use:
The current zone of the property, P-2, would not permit a structure as tall as
the main building of the Lodge.

The Lodge administrator, has, therefore applied for a Development
Variance Permit to correct the non-conformity of the building.

COMMENTS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENT:

The Engineering, Building, Parks and Recreation and Fire Departments
have no objections to the issuance of this Development Variance Permit.

DISCUSSION:

This Development Variance Permit will make fully conforming a building
that became legal non-conforming due to administrative problems.

The Planning Department, therefore recommends approva the permit.
