Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0100-00 Planning & Development Report Page 2 RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY • Approval for Development Variance Permit to proceed to Public Notification. DEVIATION FROM PLANS, POLICIES OR REGULATIONS The applicant is seeking the following variances to the "Single Family Residential (RF) Zone" : • reduce the minimum front yard setback that is required on a lot fronting a collector road; • reduce the rear yard setback; and • to locate the basement access stairwell in a side yard. RATIONALE OF RECOMMENDATION • The 10 Avenue frontage (to the north) is the shortest lot line abutting a highway, making it the front lot line under Part 1 Definitions of Zoning By-law No. 12000. The previous house on the lot was oriented towards 164 Street (to the west) and the applicant proposes to construct the new house with the same orientation. Variances are required to the front and rear yard setbacks, as well as the basement access location, in order to achieve the desired orientation with the front of the house facing 164 Street. • The proposed variance to the front yard setback is necessary due to the Special Building Setback requirements for lots fronting or flanking an arterial or collector road. In accordance with Part 7 Special Building Setbacks of Zoning By‐law No.12000, building setbacks are to be measured from the ultimate road right‐of‐way. • 10 Avenue is a collector road and requires an additional 1.94 metres of road right‐of‐way for an ultimate road allowance of 24 metres. To achieve this, the required front yard setback for all buildings and structures is 9.4 metres from the existing property line, or 7.5 metres from the ultimate property line. The proposed house will be setback setback 7.5 metres from the existing property line, and 5.6 metres from the ultimate property line. • As 10 Avenue is a collector road, it is also preferred that the driveway be on 164 Street, which is a local road, as is being proposed. • Due to the preferred home orientation noted above, the applicant is proposing to reduce the rear (south) yard setback from 7.5 metres to 1.8 metres to achieve a standard side yard setback under the "Single Family Residential (RF) Zone". The rear yard will function as the side yard and the east side yard will function as the rear yard, consistent with the previous house on the lot. • The applicant is proposing to locate the basement access well in the side (east) yard setback, which will function as the rear yard. The proposal was reviewed by Engineering and Fire and there were no concerns with the proposed location of the basement access.
