Details
The purpose of this application is to substantially amend an existing development agreement to permit an increase in the number of dwelling units from 14 to 20 townhouse units. The applicant proposes increasing the number of dwelling units by dividing six, 2-storey dwelling units, located at the rear of the property, into upper and lower units; thereby creating six additional townhouse units. In order for a development agreement amendment to be considered, a housekeeping amendment to the Municipal Planning Strategy has to be completed simultaneously. A policy is required to be added to the Medium Density Residential Neighbourhood (MR) Designation that permits Council to consider development agreements in the Townhouse (R2-T) Zone. Items that Council will consider by development agreement have already been listed under the Townhouse (R2-T) Zone provisions; however, a policy was mistakenly never developed for the MPS to consider the following uses: -Townhouse developments larger than zone limits. -Institutional (IU) Zone uses that do not meet zone requirements. No new buildings are being proposed.
