DATE: August 2, 2016

Proposed Variances: 1. To permit the use of a Professional Office (Office of a Regulated Health Professional – 2 Practitioners).

By-law Requirements: 1. A Professional Office (Office of a Regulated Health Professional) is not a permitted use.

Official Plan: VOP 2010 designation: “Employment Commercial Mixed-Use” and within a Primary Intensification Corridor in Employment Areas. Office uses are permitted within the designation. The proposal conforms to the Official Plan.

Comments: The Owner is requesting permission for the offices of a Regulated Health Professional Use in the EM3 Retail Warehouse Employment Zone. The office of a Regulated Health Professional is not permitted within an EM3 Zone. The Development Planning Department has no objection to permit a Regulated Health Professional Use (2 practitioners) within Unit 1 of the subject lands. Office Uses are permitted within the Employment Commercial Mixed-Use designation in VOP 2010. Sufficient parking has been provided on the subject lands to accommodate the Regulated Health Professional Use (2 practitioners). The proposal is also consistent with previous approvals in the immediate area. On this basis, 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.
