P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offer the following comments. The variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan for the following reasons. The property is designated Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan and the proposed townhouse development is permitted within the low rise residential classification. The variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law for the following reasons. The Residential Six (R-6) zoning of the property requires a 7.5 metre rear yard setback to ensure adequate outdoor amenity area and to create adequate separation between buildings on abutting properties. The 0.07 metre reduction in setback is negligible, therefore meeting the general intent of the zoning by-law. 1 1 SITE STATISTICS Zcrving-R-9 CMA W1552tl4rr A-1952,42mr BulWing Coverage• 743.2W(40.12%) Lards ped Arca 38B.42m'(47.9A%) Asvh,ll; Haid &ad Area 220,77e(I1.92%) Perking Requlr d -B (p—Id.

The property is designated Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan and the proposed townhouse development is permitted within the low rise residential classification. The variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law for the following reasons. The Residential Six (R-6) zoning of the property requires a 7.5 metre rear yard setback to ensure adequate outdoor amenity area and to create adequate separation between buildings on abutting properties. The 0.07 metre reduction in setback is negligible, therefore meeting the general intent of the zoning by-law. The variance is minor for the following reasons. The 0.07 metre reduction in setback will not be visually apparent on the property and continues to maintain a functional outdoor amenity area on the property without impacting the abutting lot, nor does it impact the neighbourhood. The variance is appropriate for the development and use of the land for the following reasons. Staff worked with the owner of the property on the design of the townhouse block to create a design that will fit in with the existing neighbourhood. The minimal reduction in setback does not compromise the design of the project. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that the application be approved without conditions. Building Comments: No concerns. Transportation Services Comments: No concerns. Engineering Comments: No concerns.
