Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7923-0337-00 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 proposing to reduce the number of parking spaces outlined in Land Use Contract (LUC) No. 420 from 423 to 367 parking spaces. RATIONALE OF RECOMMENDATION • At the January 8, 2018 Regular Council – Land Use meeting, under Development Application No. 7917-0262-00, Council approved the termination of LUC No. 420 to permit the existing underlying C-35 Zone to come into effect on the subject site. In accordance with legislation, the LUC Termination By-law has a one-year grace period from adoption of LUC By-law termination, after which the current underlying Zone comes into effect. That grace period would have ended on January 8, 2019. • On September 12, 2018, the Board of Variance granted the applicant permission to extend the termination date of LUC No. 420 until January 8, 2024, to allow for the conversion of the existing low-rise commercial building into 63 new residential rental units and the exterior renovation of the existing residential high-rise building under the LUC. The Board acknowledged that undue hardship would be caused to the applicant by early termination of LUC No. 420. (Appendix II) • At the April 15, 2019 Regular Council – Land Use meeting, Council supported Development Application No. 7918-0346-00, which included a variance to Land Use Contract No. 420 to replace the development drawings originally attached to the LUC and to reduce the number of required parking spaces in order to allow for additional rental residential units and renovations to the existing buildings. Development Variance Permit No. 7918-0346-00 was issued on October 5, 2020 and expired on October 5, 2022. • Since 2019, the applicant has gradually worked towards obtaining the necessary City approvals for their renovation project. Building Permit No. 2021-014341-000-00 for the conversion of the existing low-rise commercial building into 63 new residential units and Building Permit No. 2022-012636-000-00 for the exterior renovation of the existing residential high-rise building have both been submitted. The applicant is working with the Building Division to resolve outstanding deficiencies for imminent building permit issuance. • In order for the applicant to proceed with the renovation project under the existing, extended, LUC No. 420, it is necessary for the Development Variance Permit to be renewed. The subject Development Variance Permit No. 7923-0337-00 is identical to the previous Development Variance Permit No. 7918-0346 and is required to be issued before LUC No. 420 expires on January 8, 2024. • The proposed Development Variance Permit will allow the applicant to commence building renovations when Building Permit No. 2021-014341-000-00 and Building Permit No. 2022- 012636-000-00 are issued.
