On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report proposes minor amendments to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to correct and clarify regulations relating to accessible parking and bicycle parking standards, including: - Clarifying accessible parking requirements for changes of use or enlargements of lawfully existing buildings; - Clarifying minimum accessible parking space rates in Table 200.15.10.5 for uses without requirements, based on number of dwelling

units or gross floor area; - Clarifying that "short-term" bicycle parking spaces can be stacked bicycle parking spaces; - Clarifying the number of bicycle parking spaces to use when determining other requirements under the Zoning By-law when the Payment-in-lieu of Bicycle Parking program is used; and - Incorporating corrections to transition clauses relating to accessible parking and bicycle parking. All proposed amendments are in keeping with the adopted recommendations regarding parking requirements for new development for accessible, bicycle and visitor parking in By-law 223-2025 and do not affect the intent of the By-law 223-2025. These minor amendments do not reflect or impact ongoing work to assess the impact of bicycle parking requirements on the economic viability of midrise development, nor do they reflect the ongoing work to review visitor parking requirements. That work is ongoing, and any future Zoning By-law Amendments to implement that work will be reported on separately.
