Planning & Regulatory Services - Planning: The applicant proposes to sever off a small parcel of land with an area of square metres (9, square feet) at the southwest corner of the subject lands and merge it on title with the abutting lands to the west. The lands to the west are the subject of active applications for Zoning By-law Amendment (D ) and draft Plan of Subdivision (D ).

The retained parcel will have a frontage of approximately metres (1,364.8 feet) on 19 th Avenue and a lot area of approximately 15.7 hectares (38.7 acres). Staff has reviewed the applicant s development proposal and would note that stormwater management facilities are permitted under the Protected Countryside designation subject to a Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) having been undertaken for the subject area. An MESP has been completed for the North Leslie Secondary Plan Area and it is noted that the proposed location for the stormwater pond is consistent with the MESP.

ADJACENT LAND CONDITIONS: North: Office / Commercial South: West Beaver Creek Road East: Leslie Street West: Office / Commercial CIRCULATED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES COMMENTS RECEIVED Committee of Adjustment: This application was circulated to the commenting departments and agencies on August 8, Public notice was mailed on August 18, The applicant confirmed posting of public notice sign on August 18, Planning & Regulatory Services - Building/Zoning: The requested variance is correct. Planning & Regulatory Services - Planning: The proposed variance is requested to facilitate an expansion of an existing physiotherapy clinic (Neurocore Physiotherapy and Pilates Inc.) on the ground floor of a mixed use retail and office building on the subject property. To facilitate the proposed development, the minor variance application is specifically seeking relief from the following provisions of By-law , as amended: Decrease the number of parking spaces from two hundred and sixty-three (263) as required, to two hundred and fifty-nine (259). The subject property supports an existing mixed use retail and office building. The current application is required to accommodate the expansion of an existing physiotherapy clinic on the ground floor of the building, which increases the overall gross floor area of the clinic and necessitates an increase in the total amount of parking spaces currently provided on site based on the parking requirements in the applicable By-law. As parking on the subject property is already provided and no new spaces are proposed to be added on the subject lands, a decrease in the amount of parking necessary for the expansion of the clinic use to the total existing amount is required. A Parking Justification Memorandum providing technical details supporting the proposal including operational details, site description, and general observations of on-site parking to justify the proposed parking space reduction was submitted as part of the application. Further to the Town s Development Engineering Division review of the supporting material, they have no objections to a parking supply of two hundred and fifty-nine (259) spaces on the subject lands as a result of the proposed expansion of the clinic on the subject lands. Planning staff has reviewed the proposed minor variance for a reduction in parking and believes that the proposal meets the four (4) prescribed tests set out in Section 45.1 of the Planning Act in that the requested variance is considered to be minor in nature, is desirable for the appropriate development of the subject land, and maintains the general intent and purpose of the applicable Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Planning & Regulatory Services - Development Engineering: No concerns or objections.
