ADDENDUM TO
BULLETIN #2 - PARKING PROVISIONS UPDATE
CONSULTATION WITH CITY
OF VICTORIA, MANAGER, ZONING BYLAWS
ZONING BYLAW 80-159, SCHEDULE “C” : OFF STREET PARKING REGULATIONS
VERIFICATIONS THROUGH COMMENTARIES AND FILE REVIEWS DATING BACK TO 1963
The Following Review Is Based Upon Two Towers @ 98 Rental
Units Each (Totalling @ 196 Rental Units) & Starlight Is Proposing To Build
The Additional 90-Unit Third Building :
The Victoria
Zoning Parking Off-Street Bylaw Applies To 350 – 360 Douglas Street
Goodacre Towers Owned By Starlight
Within This Schedule
“C” Is The Section Titled Apartments – Goodacre Towers Are Within
The Category Titled “OTHER AREA (3rd Vertical Column) – Therein,
1.30 Spaces per dwelling unit that is more than 70 meters square (753 sq ft)
Currently, The
Two Towers @ 196 Dwelling Units Provides 169 Dwelling Units Numbered Parking
Spaces Of Equal Size : (196 x 1.3 = 255 spaces) minus The Bachelor Suits (@.75
spaces per dwelling = (52 x .75 = 39 spaces) : Therefore Total Parking Spaces
Required By Bylaws Is (255-39 = 216 Parking Units
Today, Parking
Stalls = 184 Numbered Units Minus 15
Visitor Units = 169 Parking Units For Dwellers / Renters : Appearing To
Be A Shortfall Of (216-169 = 46
Parking Units : The Zoning Manager Could NOT Explain This Shortfall
We reviewed
All Documents Filed To This Project Back To 1963 To Determine If There Are Any VARIANCES Allowed – There Are No Variances
Registered
Additionally,
Where Starlight Proposes To Install Underground Parking To The New 90-Unit
Building; The Project Developer Drawings Do Not Illustrate Any Underground
Parking To Be Constructed – Which Means That The Existing Tarmac Parking Spaces
(169) Will Have Too Accommodate These Additional 90 Dweller Units
Therefore, The
Zoning Bylaw Requirement Creates A Demand For (216 + 90) =306 Parking Units
Finally, The Above Is Complicated By The Loss Of 66 Parking Units Through The New
90-Unit Building + The Circle Drive Created By The New Entrance Off Avalon Road
Answer : Starlight Could Construct
Multi-Level Parking - Not Likely.
