Whereas car shelters are “accessory structures” under City Zoning By- laws and are not permitted in front yards. They are permitted in side and rear yards to a limited extent provided certain conditions are met; Whereas the City is currently starting work toward the development of a Comprehensive Zoning By-law; Whereas the potential to allow these car shelters in front yards will be reviewed as part of that process; however, the process is expected to take 3 to 5 years; December 9, 2020 C#51-20 Whereas in light of Covid-19, many residents are working remotely which means their vehicles are always parked in their driveways; Whereas residents living on Delphinium Avenue have completed a petition to approve the use of a temporary car shelter for the upcoming winter months; Whereas 87.5% of residents on Delphinium Ave have signed the petition and are in favour of temporary car shelters; Whereas permitting residents the ability to erect a temporary car shelter for the winter months will not have any impact on any other programs or neighboring streets; Now Therefore Be it Resolved: That Council approve and direct staff to enact a pilot project on Delphinium Avenue from December 9th to March 31st inclusive to permit the use of temporary car shelters on front driveways.
