Notice of Application: Development Variance Permit - The Works

The developer is proposing to construct a new industrial structure at 904 10 ST N that includes a dwelling units above the first storey each of the six industrial bays. Plans have been submitted for the structure as per the Town of Golden Zoning Bylaw 1294, 2011; however, in order to maximize the existing lot three variances are proposed:

  1. Schedule S Light Industrial – M2 zone’s section f) Minimum Yard Setbacks - Principal Building(s) and Accessory Buildings and Structures requires a Front Lot Line setback of 4.5 m: This variance allows for a reduction of the Front Lot Line setback to 3.0 m. 
  2. Section 8.7 (1) Parking Requirements: General Industrial Use requires 1 parking stall for every 50m2 of gross floor area. This variance allows for 1 parking stall for every 100 m2 of General Industrial Use gross floor area.
  3. Section 7.4 (1) Landscape Buffer: Development adjacent to a residential zone shall have a landscape buffer 3.0m in width (onsite). This variance allows for a reduction to 1.25 metres in width and it shall be permitted to be located in the boulevard.
