Approve AS AMENDED with Conditions Location Map: 540 Bingemans Centre Drive *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property is zoned Business Park Service Centre (B-3) with Special Regulation Provision 416R and Special Use Provision 338U. The property is designated as Business Park Employment in the City's 2014 Official Plan. City Planning staff visited the site on February 22, 2019. It is also important to note that the subject property is registered as a Vacant Land Condominium containing two units. Despite the property having two separate units, the Sign By-law still regards the site as one property. The applicant is seeking relief from Section 680.11.13 (a) of the Sign By-law to construct a ground supported sign at a seperation distance of 30 metres from another ground supported sign on the same property rather than the required 50 metres. Upon further investigation, a second variance is required for a separation distance of 28 metres from another ground supported sign on the same property rather than the required 50 metres. The applicant clarified that three ground supported signs will be constructed on the same property, which warrants a second variance for the separation distance between Sign A and Sign C. Therefore, Planning Staff recommends that the minor variance application be amended. Please see the sketch below for a visual representation. _ SIG _ _,�•� 4,, GR(DUIND ' 1 BUILDING H SUPPORTED SIGN �L CikA— J,J=!m1 ! o 1 ` s 1 Image 1: Sketch of the proposed ground supported sign locations and separation distances Planning, Urban !?sign 8 Landscape Architecture - h 1HBC; RICHARDSON _ - GMP I J� It PARSONS -� s -- i` �- M s '7 x - _ .:3X3': y,:; .. -•*rt _: _. Image 2: Approximate location of Sign A I� 1� l LEASE - 197 4904 Image 3: Approximate location of Sign B Image 4: Approximate location of Sign C The intent of Section 680.11.13 (a) of the Sign By -Law requiring a minimum 50 metres between ground - supported signs on the same property is to ensure that the number of ground signs on a single property do not dominate and therefore negatively impact the streetscape. In this case, the third ground supported sign (i.e. Sign C) is proposed to be located in the interior of the property, meaning the sign will have minimal impact on the property's frontage. Therefore, staff is of the opinion that the reduced separation distance proposed by the applicant is sufficient and meets the intent of the By-law by minimizing impacts on the streetscape and surrounding area. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that this application be approved subject to the conditions outlined below in the Recommendation section of this report. Building Comments: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed sign variance provided a sign permit is obtained prior to erection. Transportation Services Comments: Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed application. Engineering Comments: No comments. RECOMMENDATION That application SG 2019-007 (as amended) requesting permission to have a separation distance of 30 metres between two ground supported signs on the same property rather than the required 50 metres; and, having a separation distance of 28 metres between two ground supported signs on the same property rather than the required 50 metres be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1) That sign permits are obtained from the Planning Division. 2) That condition 1 shall be completed prior to October 1, 2019. Any request for a time extension must be approved in writing by the Manager of Development Review (or designate), prior to the completion date set out in this decision. Failure to fulfill these conditions will result in this approval becoming null and void.
