REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject property located at 333 Manitou Driveis zoned Heavy Industrial(M-4), in the Zoning By-law
th
85-1. City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on August 9, 2018.
The applicant is requesting relief from Section 680.7.7of the SignBy-law to permita billboard sign to be
located 200 metres from another billboard sign,rather than the required separation distance of 300
metres.
TheCommitteeof Adjustment previously approved Application A2010-002to legalize the reduced
separation distance of 200 metres, however a special condition was added at that time of the decision
which required,that the LED portion of the billboard sign shall not exceed 3.6576m by 2.7432m in size.
The applicant has requested to increase the size of the LED portion to 6.3m by 2.7m, therefore the 2010
Committee of Adjustment decision is considered void, and theapplicant is re-applying for the separation
distance variance.
With the signs having previously being approved with the 200 metre separation distance, and given the
location with a heavy industrial area, staff is supportive of allowing the signs to remain. Staffis also
supportive of the increase in size of the LED portion as it is in compliance will all other applicable billboard
sign regulations in the City’s Sign By-law.
Existing billboard sign located at 333 Manitou Drive
Based on the above comments, Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed variance meets the
general intent of the Sign By-law and isappropriate for the lot and surrounding neighbourhood.
