The proposal conforms to the Official Plan Policies. Comments: The Owner is requesting permission for the expansion of a legal non-conforming use, being an existing Day Nursery (Polka Dot Preschool) in an existing institutional building (Thornhill Presbyterian Church). Development Planning Department staff conducted a site visit with photo documentation on July 28, The subject lands are developed with an existing institutional building (church), parking lot, single detached dwelling, and an existing outdoor playground area. The variance application is a result of the anticipated increase (10 additional persons) to the previously approved occupancy load (60 persons) for the Day Nursery use ( m 2 ground floor and basement). The Owner is proposing to utilize the washroom facilities of the church in order to meet the Ontario Building Code standards, and therefore, requires the expansion of the legal non-conforming use. No addition to the existing building is being proposed. The Owner has submitted concurrent Site Development File DA to legalize the existing outdoor playground area, which has existed for over 10 years on the subject lands. The Development Planning Department has no objection to the requested variance for the expansion of a legal non-conforming use, subject to Site Plan approval being obtained. The Development Planning Department is of the opinion that the proposal is minor in nature, meets the intent of the Zoning By-law, and is desirable for the appropriate development of the land. Recommendation: The Development Planning Department supports the proposal, subject to the condition(s) below: Condition(s): That the Owner shall successfully obtain Site Plan approval, to the satisfaction of the Development Planning Department.
