Title
Policy for Application of Bylaws for Driveway Widenings
Recommended Action
Whereas the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw does not permit the widening of residential driveways in compact neighbourhoods beyond 6.0m;
Whereas the Highway and Traffic Bylaw outlines that the maximum width of a residential driveway is 7.5m; and
Whereas residents in some compact residential neighbourhoods have frontage well above 11.0m (up to 13.5m in some cases) that can likely accommodate a driveway up to 7.5m wide, especially where on-street parking is not permitted;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to prepare and report back with a new or revised draft policy outlining the future application of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw and Highway and Traffic Bylaw to potentially allow for the widening of driveways up to 7.5m in residential compact neighbourhoods, subject to staff input, for lots with sufficient frontage, such that minor widenings will not adversely affect prevailing aesthetics, drainage capacity, and neighbourhood on-street parking supply.
