ZONING JPPLICATION FOR OLD BUS STATION,BOWMANVILLE
I have examined the attached Consultant's Report No. 10 and
concur with its recommendations, with the following three small
modifications.
I would recommend that,
1. The number of parking spaces which the developer provides
off the site should not exceed 1/3 of the parking required
for commercial uses.
2, Since the use of parking space in the downtown area is not
functionally tied to any particular property, the alternative
Spaces should be acceptable if located anywhere within the
proposed Downtown Commercial zone,
3, This developer, and most others who wish to develop in the
downtown area in the future, will probably not be able to
provide all their required parking space on their own lands,
so I feel that they should have the option of providing to the
Town a cash contribution in lieu of up to 1/3 of the
required parking spaces for commercial uses.
With the above modifications, I would recommend that Consultant's
Report No. 10 be approved as a basis for rezoning the site, and
the applicant be requested to submit revised plans in accordance
therewith.
Respectfully submitted,
I
George F. Howden,
Planning Director.
