RE: LOT WIDTH IN NEW M-3 ZONES

At the request of Alderman Laking to review certain aspects of the new M-3 zoning
regulations, a meeting of the Planning and Zoning Committee and the Industrial
Development Committee was held on December 4, 1974,

One of Alderman Laking"s concerns was the 100 foot lot width requirement in the

new M-3 zones. Alderman Lrking felt that the 100 foot width was over restrictive,
resulting in forcing new M-3 lots created by subdivision or re-subdivision to

exceed 10,000 sq. ft. in site area (minimum lot size in M-~3 zones) if the depth
happened to be greater than 100 ‘feet. As a result, Alderman Laking felt that the ©
M-3 lot width requirement in the Zoning By-law should be deleted. However, Aldermen
Ranger, Mabbett and Keryluk felt that if such situation did arise and warranted
reduction in lot width, a land use contract could be applied.

It was pointed out by the City Clerk that if the lot width requirement in M-3

zones was to be changed or deleted, the entire zoning amending by-law would have to
be re-processed, followed by another public hearing.

‘With the exception of Alderman Laking, the two Committees agreed that no change
to the M-3 lot width requirement was to be made. .
