1.   A44/25 – 1383 Bobolink Court

The applicant is seeking relief from Section 6.18 of the Zoning By-law to increase the maximum permitted lot coverage for a detached accessory residential building from 10% to 11.9% to accommodate a proposed detached Accessory Residential Unit (ARU).

2.    A01/26 – 302 King Street

The applicant is seeking relief from Section 327.3(a) of the Zoning By-law to reduce the minimum lot area per dwelling unit from 185 square metres to 159 square metres to facilitate a renovation of the building.

3.    A02/26 – 169 Princess Street

The applicant is seeking relief from Section 6.18 of the Zoning By-law to reduce the minimum side lot setback for accessory structure from 0.6 metres to 0.3 metres and reduce the minimum rear lot line setback from 0.6 metres to 0 metres. The proposal is to reconstruct a legal non-complying structure with no current setback with a slightly different footprint, resulting in a structure that maintains its rear lot line setback and improving its side lot line setback.

4.    A03/26 – 384 Mark Street

The applicant is seeking relief from the following Sections of the Zoning By-law to facilitate the construction of 6 row dwelling units:

1. Section 9.2(b) to reduce the minimum lot area per dwelling unit from 230 square metres per unit to 159 square metres;
