"The Community Planner explained the variance was necessary to reduce parking from 290 spaces to 247 spaces, primarily because a previous Council decision reduced overall parking on the Canadian Tire portion of the lot, impacting the ability of the adjacent strip mall (Dairy Queen quadrant) to accommodate a new restaurant use. The applicant supported the variance, citing encouragement of alternative transportation. One resident expressed concern about traffic and overflow parking onto Glentana Road. Staff confirmed that cash-in-lieu provisions did not apply to this variance request."
