Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0137-00 Planning & Development Report Page 4 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL Planning Considerations  The applicant seeks to remove a detached shed and build a personal workshop in that location on the southwest portion of the property. The increased size of this accessory building is required for a functional workshop building and would increase the lot coverage on this property to 27% (454.04 square metres), above the current maximum of 20% (338.2-square-metres).  Based on the increase in lot coverage, the proposal would not be possible without removing 63.81 square metres of floor area (comprising the sites lot coverage) from the existing structures on-site.  The floor plans indicate that the finished accessory building will be used as a personal workshop. The RA-G zone does not permit a detached secondary suite. The City would not accept any Building Permit application that proposes habitable space or servicing connections for a secondary suite within the accessory building.  The siting of the replacement accessory building on the southwest corner of the property would not result in visual impacts on the neighbourhood. The site currently contains an accessory shed building and will continue to be screened from the public frontage (138A Street) by a fence. The building will be separated from surrounding properties by mature trees, fencing, and other landscaping.  The south abutting neighbor (whose property line borders the proposed accessory building) has indicated support for the subject variance and authorizes the removal of a protected tree on their property that the proposed works would impact. Referrals Engineering: The Engineering Department has no objection to the project. POLICY & BY-LAW CONSIDERATIONS Zoning By-law Lot Coverage Variance  The applicant is requesting the following variance: o to increase the maximum lot coverage of the RA-G Zone from 20% to 27%.  The subject variance to increase lot coverage from 20% to 27% is required to replace an existing shed with a proposed personal workshop.  The applicant is not proposing to increase the maximum building density permitted on the property.
