REPORT Planning Comments: The subject property located at 500 Fairway Road South is zoned Commercial Campus Zone (C- 8) in the Zoning By-law 85-1. Staff conducted a site inspection of the property on November 7th, 2019. The applicant is requesting relief from Section 680.11.4 of the Sign By-law to add 2.62 square metres of sign face to an existing 19.19 metres square sign face, which is greater than the maximum permitted sign face area of 20 square metres. The applicant's rationale is to be able to provide advertising space to two new plaza tenants equal to that currently used by the plaza's existing tenants on the sign. The intent of Section 680.11.4 of the Sign By -Law is to prevent signs from negatively impacting the aesthetics of the streetscape. Staff is of the opinion that the applicant's proposal and request for variance will not significantly impact the aesthetics of the area, given the large lot frontages and commercial nature of the subject property and surrounding area. Staff is supportive of the request to provide equal advertising space to tenants within the commercial plaza. Therefore, the requested variance meets the intent of the Sign By-law. Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that this application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the Recommendation section of this report. Building Comments: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed sign variance. Note that a sign permit will be required for the new sign. Transportation Services Comments: Given that the subject sign does not fall within the driveway visibility triangle (DVT), Transportation Services have no concerns with the proposed application. Heritage Planning Comments: No heritage planning concerns. Environmental Planning Comments: No environmental planning concerns due to nature of application. RECOMMENDATION That application SG2019-016 requesting permission for a plaza sign to add 2.62 square metres of sign face to an existing 19.19 meters square sign face, which is greater than the maximum permitted sign face area of 20 square metres, be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. That a Sign Permit be obtained from the Planning Division. 2. That conditions noted above be completed by March 1, 2020. Any request for a time extension must be approved in writing by the Manager of Development Review (or designate) prior to completion date set out in this decision. Failure to complete the conditions will result in this approval becoming null and void.
