General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning if it respects siting, scale, design, townscape character, residential amenity, highway safety, and parking. The officer found the proposal compliant as it renovates prominent buildings without increasing units, improves poor rear elevations visible from the harbour, upgrades front facades, provides more parking than existing (despite not fully meeting standards), and has no adverse neighbour amenity impact. No tension noted; parking deficiency deemed less significant due to reduced units compared to prior scheme.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
