3. Minor Variance Application MV-2017-21- Royal Venetian Investments
Inc.: 400 Industrial Parkway South
The Applicant submitted an Application seeking relief from Zoning By-law No.
2213.78, as amended, requesting to allow a reduction in the required parking
spaces to facilitate construction of an addition to the existing building on the
easterly portion of the property.
The Applicant and his Architect, Mr. Lehari were both in attendance to speak
to the matter noting the area in question is for kitchen preparation only and
not open to the public.
The Committee sought clarity on the existing parking issues and if this
impacts the neighbouring units. It was determined the expansion plans
proposed do not include creating more space, but streamlining existing space
and that the footprint of the unit will remain the same.
In regards to parking availability, the Applicant noted there is a casual,
reciprocal agreement with the adjacent property that is a church, to use its
parking for overflow purposes. The Applicant advised the overflow area can
accommodate approximately 70 additional spaces. Neither the church nor
the banquet hall operates at the same time, providing an increase in parking
if necessary.
The Committee recommended the Applicant seek a formal arrangement with
the adjacent Church property to ensure this reciprocated arrangement
continues.

The Committee reiterated the importance of obtaining staff reports and outside
