Voluntary Development Variance Permit, File No. 10/89

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council direct the Clerk to inform surrounding property owners
of this application and to place a resolution on a subsequent meeting of
City Council to issue a voluntary development variance permit to Lots A,
B, © and D of Block 5, D.L. 231, 232 and 288, L.D. 36 NWLD Plan 21652
relaxing the requirements of the M-3 Section (3)(£).

MMENTS :

This application is for a voluntary development variance permit to relax the
rear yard setback for the building. The Planning Department supports this
development variance permit on the basis the proposed building design is
superior to a standard warehouse.

In the M-3 zone a 6 metre rear yard is required. The rear yard is to be
landscaped as a buffer strip. The applicant is proposing to improve
landscaping in the old Ryan Street right of way in lieu of a rear yard. From
an operational perspective, this is superior as there will be no rear doors to
the building. Removing rear doors minimizes potential for having rubbish and
material stored outdoors behind the building.

In conclusion, approval of this application is recommended.

Au. a

W. Bhdwn,
Director of Planning.
