REPORT:

subject lands on March18, 2018. At the time of the decision by Council, the staff report did not
include the recommendation as cited above,

Since the approval by Council, the site grading has been further refined andas a result, the site
plan drawings including elevations for the proposed structures,will require some modifications
that will require variances that were not envisioned at the time of the zoning by-law amendment.
Staff is requesting that Council approve the recommendation to remove the 2 year moratorium
as per Section 45(1.3 and 1.4) of the Planning Act and to allow the applicants to proceedto the
Committee of Adjustmentfor the variances that are required.This would be in line with other
more recent decisions that Council has made on other sites. It is the opinion of staff that this
request would continue to be good planning and meet all other Provincial, Regionaland City
policies and guidelines.
