REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property located at 284 Mausser Avenue is zoned Residential Five (R-5)Zoning By-law 85- 1 and is designated Low Rise Residential in the City’s 1994 and 2014 Official Plan. City Planning staff th conducted a site inspection of the property onJune 9, 2019.The applicant is requesting permission for an existing single detached dwelling to have one required off-street parking space having a width of 2.60 metres wide and a depth of 2.90 metres, rather than the required 2.60 metres by 5.50 metre depthdue to the installation of a new sidewalk. View from Mausser Avenue Considering the four tests for minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 Chap. P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offers the following comments: GeneralIntent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated Low Rise Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The proposed variance meets the general intent of the Official Plan, which encourages a range of housing forms that achieve an overall low density neighbourhood. The minor change will maintain the low density character of the property and surrounding neighbourhood. The proposed variance meets the general intent of the designation. General Intent of the Zoning By-law The requested varianceto have one off-street parking space having a width of 2.60 metres wide and a depth of 2.90 metres, rather than the required 2.60 metres by 5.50 metre depthmeets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.The intent of the 5.50metre depth is to allow for most vehicles to comfortably fit into a space. As there is no opportunity to develop a double wide driveway, due to the property line starting approximately halfway up the front yard, an encroachment agreement through with the city will allow for the vehicle to be located partially on city lands. As such, Staff is satisfied the variance meets thegeneralintent of the Zoning By-law. Minor Staff is of the opinion that requested variance for the additional parking space is minor, as the approval of the depth of the parking space will not cause any significant impacts to the subject property or surrounding neighbourhood. Appropriate and Desirable The proposed variance is appropriate for the development and use of the land. No negative impacts are anticipated as a result of the variance. The proposed depth of the parking stallwill continue to provide a safe ingress and egress to the property without impacting the roadway. Based on the foregoing, Planningstaff recommends that this application be approved subject to the condition outlined below in the Recommendation section of this report. Building Comments: No concerns with the requested variances. Transportation Services Comments: Transportation Services has been in contact with Engineering staff and the proposed variance is acceptable, as the future sidewalk location permits the remaining length of the parking space be located within the city’s right-of-way and not overhang the future sidewalk. Engineering Comments: No concerns with the requested variance. RECOMMENDATION: That application A 2019-052requesting relief from Section 6.1.1.2.d)for an existing single detached dwelling to have one required off-street parking space having a width of 2.60 metres wide and a depth of 2.90 metres, rather than the required 2.60 metres by 5.50 metre depth due to the installation of a new sidewalk, shall be approvedwith conditions. 1)That the owner shall enter into an encroachment agreement for the parking spaces with the City of Kitchener to be prepared by the City Solicitor and registered on title of the subject lands; and, st 2)That the above noted conditions to be completed by February 1, 2020.
