providing the proposed building and any potential commercial uses with direct street presence and access; 

• The requested relief from the parking area separaƟon setback from a habitable window is minimal in nature and will permit the development to provide addiƟonal parking on site;

• The proposed increase in the individual maximum gross floor area (GFA) for a permitted Business Office, Food Outlet – Take-Out, Medical Office, Personal Service Shop, Professional Studio, Repair Shop – Light, Restaurant or Retail Store contained on the ground floor from 250m2 to 1200 m2 will allow for more leasable commercial units to be provided in the building; and

• The proposed increase in maximum gross floor area of all Restaurant and Food Outlet-Take-Out, uses from 500m2 to 1,200m2 is minor in nature and will allow for a wider range of desirable unit sizes while maintaining the neighbourhood commercial unit sizes.

 The proposed development is adjacent to a transit route and sidewalk. This access will promote the use of transit and acƟve transportaƟon for residents, employees and patrons of the proposed development.

 The proposed development is compaƟble with the surrounding land uses (land use, scale, massing, landscaping, etc.) and will allow for the intensificaƟon of the site in an appropriate matter; and

The subject site is subject to Site Plan Control Approval and any addiƟonal requirements for miƟgaƟon will be review during that process.
