Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7923-0123-00 Planning & Development Report Page 5 Setback / Second Storey Offset Variances  The applicant is requesting the following variances: (a) to reduce the minimum front yard setback (south-west) of the RF Zone from 7.5 metres to 5.0 metres to the face of the principal dwelling; and (b) to reduce the minimum second storey offset of the RF Zone from 20% to 15%.  The subject lot is constricted relative to other RF properties of a similar area due to the significant panhandle portion of the property.  The proposal to reduce the second storey floor area offset from 20% to 15% is minor and supports achieving a building density that is permitted for an RF property of this size under the Zoning By-law.  Public realm impacts from reduction of the second storey offset are not anticipated as the massing will be buffered from Bowler Drive by the existing single family dwelling on 2128 Bowler Drive and from King George Boulevard by mature City trees.  Reduction of the front yard setback (south-west) from Bowler Drive is preferable for tree retention, as the property’s King George Boulevard frontage is adjacent to multiple City trees, including a significant English Oak tree.  Staff support the requested variances to proceed for consideration.
