Development Permit 7/86
2615 Kingsway

RECOMMENDATION: That City Counci | adopt the attached
resolution issuing a development permit
varying the signage setback requirement for
2615 Kingsway.

COMMENTS:

The sign bylaw requires a three metre setback In
Industrial districts tor Signs. Oue to the stze and shape of
the lot in question it ts diftfleult to follow traditiona!}
industrial development patterns. Consequentiy, the owner has
requested and received authorization to construct a building
that Is more service commercial tn character. A result of this
Is that parking Is lecated where Industrial signs would
normaltiy be placed.

The design solution proposed for the Signage Is to use a
commercial type tocation In the front yard, landscaped area,
This alternative Is appropriate for the neighbourhood, because
of Its commercial character, It should be noted, however, the
Sign ltocation may not be acceptable in the Mary Hill Industrial
Estate.

In conclusion this report Is recommending approval for
relaxing the front yard setback for this Sign. The rationale
for this recommendation is the nelghbourhood In question Is
more service-commercial in character than Industrial, and
commercial rules should be applied,
