Notice of Application: Development Variance Permit - Matsuba

James Matsuba, the owner of 1254 – Alexander Drive wishes to convert an existing accessory building into a Detached Secondary Residential Dwelling (DSRD). The property is zoned Twin Residential - R2 and this is an accessory use in the zone. The owner is proposing three variances in order to bring the structure and change of use into compliance with the Zoning Bylaw requirements. The proposed variances are described below:

  • Schedule E R2 – Twin Residential zone’s Section f) Minimum Yard Setbacks – DSRD requires:

    Interior Lot Line setback of 3.0 m.

    This proposed variance would allow for a reduction of the Interior Lot Line setback from 3.0 m to 1.5 m.

    Rear Lot Line setback of 3.0 m.

    This proposed variance would allow for a reduction of the Rear Lot Line setback from 3.0 m to 2.1 m.
  • Schedule E R2 – Twin Residential zone’s Section g) requires:

    Maximum Building Height of a Detached Secondary Residential Dwelling shall be the lesser of 7.5 m or the height of the principal building.

    This proposed variance allows the accessory building height to exceed the existing principal building’s height by 0.7m, but to not exceed 5.8m.
