Minutes

1.

Motion to amend the minutes of the meeting of the Development Permit Panel held on Wednesday, July 30, 2014 to read as follows in the second Panel Discussion under Item No. 2:

“The Chair spoke of the proposed reduction in visitor parking and noted that the 0.125 spaces/unit rate will provide a buffer in the event that more visitor parking spaces are required than the surveys indicate. In addition, due to undeveloped sidewalk connections, access to the Canada Line is restricted. Furthermore, it was noted that the Panel is not inclined to consider any further visitor parking reductions for this project. Also, concern was raised that the reduction in visitor parking spaces commoditize the parking spaces and comes at the expense of available public parking.”
