PURPOSE OF REPORT:

To consider a development variance permit to vary the rear yard setback from 6.0m to 2.1m in order to permit a patio cover attachment to a house.

BACKGROUND:

The 396m² detached residential parcel abuts Chilco Park to the north, with detached residences to the west and south.

The parcel is zoned CD-5A Mixed Residential - Small Lot, which does not regulate the amount of impermeable surface, but does require 20% of a lot to be greenspace. 26% of this parcel is greenspace.

This application was introduced at the July 12, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting.

PROJECT INFORMATION:

Proposal

The request is to vary the rear yard setback 6.0m from to 2.1m to permit a 32.5m² patio cover attached to the house as shown in Figure 2.
