On the agenda
As the city filed it
At its meeting held on February 7 and 8, 2023 City Council adopted Item 2023.TE2.1 which recommended amendments to Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a 5-storey mixed-use building. City Council enacted By-law 447-2023 to permit the development. It came to Development Review's attention that there are minor errors in the implementing site specific zoning by-law that must be corrected for the applicant to continue ongoing construction activities.

The corrections reflect the development concept previously considered by City Council, but recent detailed review identified details that should have been originally included in Site Specific Zoning By-law 447-2023. The corrections will address: - Type G loading space access by residential and non-residential units; - Location of residential and non-residential units on the same storey; - Angular plane projection along the entire required rear yard setback; - Landscaping requirement for abutting a lot in the Residential Zone; and - Access to a lot from a neighboring lane. The corrections reflect the main intent of the original application, and the building has not changed in any material way from what was considered and approved by City Council. It is therefore appropriate that the technical amendments as set out in the Recommendations be made to Site Specific Zoning By-law 447-2023, without the need for any further public notice. This is an urgent matter as the site is currently under construction in order to provide student housing required by the university. Failing to correct these omissions from the zoning by-law would delay their building permit and building opening.
