A new commercial education facility in the City needed Council approval Monday for a plan to meet parking requirements.
The facility at 253 Myrtle Avenue required a minimum of five on-site parking spaces.
“There is insufficient space on the subject property to satisfy the requirement; therefore the developer is proposing to provide the required spaces via a lease with the adjacent property owner,” explained Michael Eger, Director of Planning, Building and Development with the City told the regular meeting of Council Monday.
The Zoning Bylaw details where a business or person(s) is deficient in the required number of on-site parking spaces, the number of parking spaces needed to meet the requirement may be purchased or leased within 120 metres of the business operation, under the following conditions, he detailed.
“The Applicant, Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, has entered into a lease agreement with the registered owner of 347 Myrtle Avenue, Marwill Investments Inc., to provide off-site parking spaces in excess of the minimum number required,” continued Eger.
“Administration is in support of the application subject to entering into an Agreement.”
The Administration recommendation was to authorize the City “… to enter into a joint agreement with Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, Jacqueline Granville Holdings Inc. and Marwill Investments Inc. providing for the alternative option of required parking spaces on land within 120 metres of the business operation of the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, a Commercial Education Facility being operated on land leased from Granville Holdings Inc..”
There was unanimous support from Council.
