Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0145-00 Planning & Development Report Page 4 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL Planning Considerations • The applicant is proposing a Development Variance Permit to reduce the minimum rear yard (south) setback requirement of the "Single Family Residential (12) Zone (RF-12)" from the south property line. Referrals Engineering: The Engineering Department has no objection to the project. Parks, Recreation & Culture: The closest active park is Barbara Creek Park and is 383 metres away, and the closest natural area is the 103H Greenbelt and is 8 metres away. POLICY & BY-LAW CONSIDERATIONS Zoning By-law Setback Variance • The applicant is requesting the following variance: o To reduce the minimum rear yard (south) setback of the RF-12 Zone for 50% of the rear width of the principal building from 7.5 metres to 6.0 metres. • The RF-12 Zone allows for a reduction of the rear yard setback of the principal building from 7.5 metres to 6.0 metres for a maximum of 50% of the rear width of the principal building for Type II lots. • The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the rear yard setback of the remaining 50% of the principal building’s rear width from 7.5 metres to 6.0 metres to accommodate a functional building envelope for the subject property. • Appendix I – Schedule A illustrates the proposed dwelling that may be built with consideration of the variance. Without the variance, the kitchen area behind the garage would be subject to a constricted design. • The lot’s pie shape is inefficient in creating a livable dwelling, as the rear (south) lot width of 22.3 metres is significantly larger than the front (north) lot width of 13.8 metres. Reducing the minimum rear yard (south) setback requirements of the RF-12 Zone allows for a dwelling size similar with neighbouring properties. • The proposed variance will allow the applicant to add an additional 11.5 square metres of floor area to the main floor and an additional 9.2 square metres of floor area to the upper floor area. The total floor area of the proposed dwelling is 246.8 square metres which complies with the RF-12 Zone.
