APC-26-013, including reasons for the recommendation.
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An accessory building comprising of stairs and deck landings accessing the shore was constructed at 322 Plaskett Place between 2023 and 2025 without appropriate approvals in place. To authorize the siting of the previously unpermitted structure, variances to the Zoning Bylaw, 1992, No. 2050 are required, as outlined in the "Purpose of Application" section of this report. The variances are requested to reduce the minimum required side, rear, and waterfront setbacks.
If the development variance permit is approved for the above variances, staff could then proceed with the delegated approval process for the associated development permit. If the development variance permit is not approved, the portions of the structure within required setbacks would need to be removed.
