Full RecordingDevelopment Permit No. 2024-06 - 4 Helmcken Road
Council approved the development permit for 4 Helmcken Road, with conditions related to energized parking spaces, despite opposition from Councillor Rogers regarding neighborhood impact.
"Councillor Rogers pulled the item to state his opposition, arguing that the design did not adequately consider the impacts (noise and anguish) on the adjacent northern property (Number 11). The motion carried despite his dissent."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT Development Permit No. 2024-06 for 4 Helmcken Road be issued in accordance with the plans submitted to the Development Services Department on February 18, 2025, subject to: 1. a plan revision to indicate that the parking spaces are energized electric vehicle spaces and the Class 1 bicycle parking spaces are energized bicycle parking spaces in accordance with the Zoning Bylaw."

Full RecordingDevelopment Permit No. 2024-06 - 4 Helmcken Road (SSMUH)
Council approved a plan for a new four-unit housing development on Helmcken Road.
"This is the first project under the new Provincial SSMUH regulations. Councillor Rogers expressed concern about the lack of public notice for neighbors and the concentration of 'noise' (patios, garbage) on the east side neighbor. Mayor Tobias praised it as a form of gentle densification."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT Council authorize the issuance of Development Permit No. 2024-06 for 4 Helmcken Road... subject to: 1. a plan revision to indicate that the parking spaces are energized electric vehicle spaces and the Class 1 bicycle parking spaces are energized bicycle parking spaces in accordance with the Zoning Bylaw."
