Council Report
Date: February 1, 2016 File No: DVP PL007582 To: Eric Sorensen, Chief Administrative Officer From: Lindsey Fraser
Address: 619 Burns Street
Subject: Approve “Development Variance Permit PL007582”
Staff Recommendation
THAT Council approve “Development Variance Permit PL007582” for Lot 18, Block 29, District Lot 202, Similkameen Division Yale District, Plan 755, located at 619 Burns Street, a permit to decrease the minimum side yard setback from 1.5m to 0.6m, allowing a staircase to project into this yard and facilitating the construction of a front-to-back duplex.
AND THAT staff are directed to issue “Development Variance Permit PL007582”.
Background
The subject property (Attachment ‘A’) is located in a predominantly low to mid density area of the city, surrounded by a mix of single family homes, duplexes, and small apartment buildings. Recently, Council endorsed a lot line adjustment of the neighbouring property, 631 Burns Street, in order to facilitate the creation of a developable lot on the subject property (619 Burns Street). Two variance, one for lot width (13m to 9.5m) and one for lot area (390m2 to 290m2) at 619 Burns Street, were approved by Council as part of this process.
The zoning of the subject property is RD2 (Duplex Housing: Lane). The applicant is proposing a front-to-back duplex with all parking coming from the lane. The parking for the back unit will be from a partial below-grade garage and an at-grade parking stall for the front unit.
Proposal
The applicant is requesting a development variance permit to vary the following section of Zoning Bylaw 2011-23:
• Section 10.6.2.7: reduce the minimum interior side yard from 1.5 to 0.6m to allow for a staircase to project into the north side yard

Technical Review
The application was reviewed at our inter-departmental Technical Planning Committee (TPC) meeting. No requirements or recommendations were highlighted during this process, outside of regular requirements for BC Building Code conformance.
Analysis
Approve
The addition of the garage raises the main living space of the back unit approximately three feet above the elevation of the front unit. This design decision creates more architectural variation and interest in the building. However, it also means that the secondary stairway, which is located in north side-yard setback, is raised to the extent that it requires a variance. Typically, this type of building will have a secondary entrance in the sideyard with one or two steps to the door – when the steps and landing do not exceed two feet, Zoning Bylaw 2011-23 states that they can project into the sideyard without need for variances. The height of the stairs in this application is approximately 5 feet – necessitating the need for a variance.
The stairs are not expected to have a negative effect on the neighbouring property; they are of little visual intrusion and do not present any safety hazard. As such, staff recommend that Council approve the variance and direct staff to issue the permit.
Deny
Council may feel the developer’s design should meet the development regulation as outlined in the zoning bylaw. If this is the case, Council should deny the variance.
Alternate recommendations
THAT “DVP PL007582” be referred back to staff.
THAT “DVP PL007582” be approved with conditions.
