1. PL04-127 - Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Timothy Parker Boland
Lot 65, Plan 246
14996 Yonge Street
File D14-11-04
Planning Staff
The Planning Technician provided a description of the application and reviewed
the location of the property and current uses of subject and surrounding lands.
The Planning Technician advised that, subsequent to the drafting of the report,
the Applicant has revised the application by removing the proposed rear addition
from the plan, thereby complying with parking requirements for that property.
The Planning Technician reviewed the new setbacks, measurements and other
modifications to the application, for Council’s consideration.
Applicant/Agent
Mr. Richard Harrison advised that he is the Planning Consultant for the applicant,
Mr. Brian Moore. Mr. Harrison advised that the applicant has made several
modifications to the application to address any concerns with regard to parking,
and advised that he is confident that all necessary planning requirements have
been met. Mr. Harrison concluded by requesting that Council legalize the non-
conforming aspects of the Zoning By-law to permit the proposed use for this site.
Public Comments
Mr. Jim Barron advised that he is an adjoining Land Owner, in relation to the
subject lands. Mr. Barron advised that he is not in opposition of the application,
however he expressed concern with respect to the number of parking spaces
proposed for this application. Mr. Barron advised that the number of parking
spaces designated for the property is adequate for the current proposal, however
he suggested that, should the business expand, there will be inadequate parking
available, which could lead to an additional strain on the existing parking
shortage in the surrounding area. Mr. Barron encouraged Council to place some
kind of restriction on the possible expansion of the proposed business within the
conditions of the Zoning By-law Amendment.
The public portion of the meeting closed at 7:20 p.m. and Council’s deliberations
began.
Moved by Councillor Morris Seconded by Councillor Vrancic
THAT the Zoning By-law Amendment be approved subject to the
resolution of any outstanding issues; and
THAT approval of the Implementing Zoning By-law be subject to a
satisfactory review of a site plan submission.
