53 RECEIVED April 2, 2014 VAUGHAN COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT DATE: APRIL 2, 2014 TO: FROM: Todd Coles, Committee of Adjustment Nadia Porukova, Development/Transportation Engineering MEETING DATE: April 10, 2014 OWNER: FILE(S): HOME DEPOT HOLDINGS INC. Minor Variance Application A170/09 (REVISED) Location: Proposal: Part of Lot 21, Concession 5 (Lot 64, Registered Plan 65M-3885, municipally known as 55 Cityview Blvd.). 1. To permit a building height of 11.3 metres. 2. To permit a minimum of 3.5 parking spaces / 100m 2 of gross floor area for all uses on the subject lands. 3. To permit loading and unloading between a building and Hwy To permit outdoor display and sales areas as shown on the attached sketch. By-Law Requirements: 1. A maximum building height of 11.0 metres is permitted. 2. A minimum of 6.0 parking spaces / 100m 2 of gross floor area is required. 3. Loading and unloading shall not be permitted between a building and Hwy Outdoor display and sales is not permitted. Comments: Variances No. 1, 3 and 4 respectively, do not appear to have any impact on the site servicing and grading plans with respect to related Development Application DA located on the subject lands. Note Development Application DA has not yet been issued site plan approval from the Development/Transportation Engineering Department. With respect to Variance No. 2, a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared by BA Group, indicates an overall parking supply of 411 spaces or 3.67 spaces per 100m 2 was recently approved (380 spaces for Home Depot and 31 for retail building A ) for a total GFA of 11,212m 2. The BA Group report also estimates a parking supply of 365 parking spaces (3.25 spaces per 100m 2 ) on the basis of a parking survey conducted at various, similar types of facilities. As discussed with staff from the Transportation Planning Division, the Development/Transportation Engineering Department are satisfied that a rate of 3.5 spaces per 100m 2 will be more suitable, as it meets the parking demand of 95th percentile of the 30 surveyed locations as per the parking data provided in the TIS and it also meets the IBI Parking Study minimum recommendation rate of 3.5 spaces per 100m 2. Therefore on the basis of the above noted comments, the proposed parking supply of 3.5 spaces per 100m 2 is found to be satisfactory. Accordingly, the Development Transportation/Engineering Department has no further comments or objection to Minor Variance Application A170/09. Condition(s): none.
