6.3.2 Residential Policies

“In order to facilitate the orderly development and integration of housing in Windsor, the following policies shall apply.”

PERMITTED USES 6.3.2.1

“Uses permitted in the Residential land use designation identified on Schedule D: Land Use include Low, Medium and High Profile dwelling units.”

COMMENT:

As discussed previously, the building was constructed prior to the passing of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 8600 and has existed with no on site parking and only on street parking for the commercial main floor units.

With the conversion of the main floor from commercial (a heavy parking requirement land use) to residential (a low parking requirement land use), less parking is required.

The requested ZBA to support the conversion of the commercial main floor to residential units and the continuation of the low profile, small scale building, in my professional opinion, can be considered appropriate for the ‘Residential’ neighbourhood and conforms with the intent of this policy.

COMMENT:

In my professional opinion, the requested ZBA maintains the intent with the relevant policies of the Official Plan for the City of Windsor.
