The Owner is seeking to amend the Zoning By-law to include, amongst other exceptions, the following site-specific provisions:
•    To delete the ‘Subject Lands’ from the designated area of By-law 2571 and to incorporate these lands into the designated area of By-law 177-96, as amended
•    Permit a Parking rate of 1.0 residential spaces per unit plus 0.25 spaces visitor spaces per unit
•    Permit Parking for non-residential uses to be shared with visitor parking
