Council Report Date: April 18, 2017 File No: DVP PL2017-7890 To: Peter Weeber, Chief Administrative Officer From: Randy Houle, Planner I Address: 3598 South Main Street Subject: Staff Recommendation Development Variance Permit PL2017-7890 THAT Council approve Development Variance Permit PL2017-7890 for Lot 5 District Lot 197 Similkameen Division Yale District Plan 20373, located at 3598 South Main Street, a permit to increase the maximum floor area of all accessory buildings from 75m 2 to 89m 2. AND THAT staff be directed to issue Development Variance Permit PL2017-7890. Strategic priority objective N/A Background The subject lot (Attachment A ) is designated by the Official Community Plan (OCP) as LR (Low Density Residential) and is currently zoned R1 (Large Lot Residential). The subject lot is 1796m 2 (19331ft 2 ) in area. A single family dwelling is located on the subject property. The surrounding properties are zoned R1 (Large Lot Residential), A (Agriculture), CT2 (Campground Commercial) and P2 (Parks and Recreation). Proposal The applicant is proposing to construct an 88.4m 2 (950ft 2 ) steel building to be used for vehicle storage. The Zoning Bylaw states that the maximum floor area of all accessory buildings is 75m 2. As such, a variance to that section of the bylaw is required prior to construction. The applicant is requesting a development variance permit to vary the following section of Zoning Bylaw No. 2017-08: Section 10.1.2.8: to increase the maximum floor area of all accessory buildings from 75m 2 to 89m 2.
Technical Review This application was reviewed by the City s Technical Planning Committee. Concerns pertaining to storm water and engineering requirements were raised and will be addressed at the building permit stage. If the request for the variance is supported, BC Building Code and City bylaw provisions, such as height restrictions, will apply. Financial implication N/A Analysis Support Variance When considering a variance to a City bylaw, staff encourages Council to be mindful of any constraints on the property that makes following the bylaw difficult or impossible; whether approval of the variance would cause a negative impact on neighboring properties and if the variance request is reasonable. Section 10.1.2.8: to increase the maximum floor area of all accessory buildings from 75m 2 to 89m 2. The combined footprint of the house and the proposed garage will result in a modest 11% lot coverage which is much less than the 40% maximum allowed. The proposed garage will enable the applicant to store antique and restorable vehicles which will tidy up the yard. A tall hill on the north and east sides of the proposed garage acts as a buffer from surrounding properties. Staff see no anticipated negative impacts on the surrounding neighbourhood due to the size of the lot and the fact that it is hidden from neighbouring properties. Given the above, staff view the variance request as reasonable and recommend that Council support the application. Deny/Refer Council may consider that the variance is not justified and will negatively affect the neighbourhood. If this is the case, Council should deny the variance. Alternate Recommendations 1. THAT Council support DVP PL2017-7890 with conditions. 2. THAT DVP PL2017-7890 be referred back to staff. Council Report DVP PL2017-7890 Page 2 of 13
