City Council - Special Meeting

That the agenda for the Special Council Meeting of July 8, 2024 be approved as amended to defer: Item 4.1. - Discussion re. Planning Matters in Mature Neighbourhoods to the Council Meeting of July 10, 2024.

Whereas the Committee of Adjustment approved application A-2024-0152 on June 18th, 2024; and Whereas notwithstanding Staff’s endorsement of the proposal there are key issues with the proposed increase in lot coverage from 30% to 39.74% Therefore be it resolved that: Council direct staff to appeal Application A-2024-0152 to the Ontario Land Tribunal for the following reasons: 1. Overall intensification: the additional lot coverage and gross floor area of the proposed dwelling will result in overdevelopment of the site; 2. Compatibility: the proposed increase in lot coverage will not be well integrated with the surrounding area and will result in a massing and scale that is not appropriate for the site or neighbourhood. 3. Character – the proposed development is out of character with the neighbourhood. 4. Adverse impacts – loss of privacy and sunlight and potential impacts on drainage, outdoor amenity area and loss of vegetation.

That the following by-law before Council at its Special Meeting of July 8, 2024, be given the required number of readings, taken as read, and signed by the Mayor and the City Clerk, and the Corporate Seal affixed thereto: By-law 106A-2024 – To confirm the proceedings of Council at its Special Meeting held on July 8, 2024.

That Council do now adjourn to meet again for a Regular Meeting of Council on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. or at the call of the Mayor.
