COMMENTS

There are no concerns under the Special Industrial Uses provisions of the Official Plan raised by this application. The use and parking spaces provided comply with the "General Industrial" (MG), "Special Industrial " (MS), and "Vehicle Service" (VS) zoning provisions of the Dorset Park Employment District Zoning By-law.

The application has been circulated to the City's usual commenting agencies. The responses received to date have been incorporated into the conditions of approval.

Access to the site is currently provided from two locations (see Figure 2). The most northerly access will be shared with the owner of 140 Midwest Road. A registered permanent mutual easement over the northerly access has been secured and registered.

All parking will be held in common to provide for optimum flexibility of use in future and to ensure adequacy of supply for unit owners and their visitors. The amount of parking spaces proposed meets the parking guidelines for industrial condominiums, which requires the greater of 1.5 parking spaces/ 100 m² (1,076 square feet) of gross floor area or 2 parking spaces per unit.
