BACKGROUND:

On August 27, 2018, Council approved Development Permit DP000105 (Appendix "A") being a development permit for a duplex at 480 and 482 Grafton Street (Appendix "B"). Due to circumstances beyond the owner's control, the owner has requested that Development Permit DP000105 be cancelled (Appendix "C").

As this is a request for a cancellation of a development permit, Council's adjudication of the request is based on an assessment of any potential negative consequences of cancelling the development permit. The owner is unable to proceed with the development as prescribed in the Development Permit DP000105. Issues such as the construction materials on the lot are more appropriately dealt with through, Bylaw No. 2826 - A Bylaw to regulate Maintenance of Property.
