A Dweller Questions In The Matter Of Victoria Off-Street Parking Zoning Bylaw As Related To The Starlight Construction Proposal For 350 - 360 Douglas Street : Per Project Development Tracker : CLC00388 : CALUC : 350 - 360 : JAMES BAY REGION : Existing Twin Towers - Goodacre - Since 1963
- Proposal Filed By MATHEW MCLASH : 250-213 7999 : Linkedin
Backgrounder - As Related To The Project Proponent Starlight Complying With Standard Prescribed Project Proposal Community Meeting
- Starlight's Proponent Lead Team Held The Required Community Introduction Meetings On June 21, 2022
- Poster Board Illustrations. Published Handouts & Open Floor Discussions Were Held : Example Posted By GATTTA Group / RTAOI
- The Dweller / Tenant Mitigation Plan Draft Was Initiated By Dwellers Following The Information Session On June 21st, 2022
- The Goodacres Twin Towers Are Each 98-Unit Buildings = 196 Dwellers : Apartments : Bachelor / 1-Bedroom / 2-Bedroom Suites
- Starlight per Managing Company Devon Provides Tenancy Agreements That Identify Parking Provision On-Site : Cost Is Tabulated Outside Of The Tenancy Agreement - Which Is BC Regulated Regarding Annual Permitted Pricing Increments
- Currently The On Site Parking Tarmac Has 184 Numbered Parking Stalls - 15 Of Which Are For Visitors Only : Additionally, There Are Six Stall Areas Tagged "For Service" (Not Tabulated Here As Included Into The Total 184)
- The Zoning Bylaw Provides "Apartment - Dwellers" Calculations For Entitled "Off-Street Parking" As Regulated
- The 184 Numbered Stalls - Minus The Visitor Stalls = 166 Dweller Parking Stalls / Units
- The Proposed Starlight Additional 90- Unit Building Construction Proposal As Filed At CLC00388 Does Not Identify Underground Parking For This New Development (A Review Of This Filing Was Conducted By GATTTA At Victoria Zoning Bylaw Offices On Sept 8th, 2022)
- Further, The Footprint For This New 90-Unit Dweller Building & The Constructed Circle Drive Provisions Appear To Occupy The Area Currently Rented To Dwellers : Total Displacement ./ Loss Appears To Be 66 Parking Stalls
- A Review Of Victoria VARIANCE Records On This Property Back To 1963 Does NOT Reveal Any Provided Parking VARIANCES
- Hence, Reading The Zoning Bylaw 80-159 / "C" : It Appears That The Twin Towers At Goodacres Requires Circa 196 Dweller Parking Stalls - Whereas 166 Are Currently Provided
- Further, The Parking Stall Provisions Of 196 PLUS The Additional 66 (Losses) & The Additional 90 (New Dweller Units = 352 Dweller Parking Stalls To Be Made Available Upon Completion Of The New 90 Unit Project By Westoak Developments
- Within This Framework - With Construction Likely Being 24-Months, There Is The Dislocation Of The 66 Lost Units To The New Building Footprint - No Answer Is Existing From Starlight On This Matter To Date
Outstanding Dweller Concerns - As Related To The Zoning Bylaw 80-159 / Schedule "C" - Off-Street Parking : Please, Review The Above Commentaries - And - Respond With A Corrective Information Regarding :
- Where GATTTA Calculations & Presumptions Might Be In Error
- In Considering Options To Resolve This Parking Issue - There Is The Option To Starlight To Construct A Multi-Level Parking Parkade On Site For The Dwellers - Likely Within The Area Currently Provided As "Covered Parking"
Thank You For Investing Time With This Inquiry And, We Look Forward To Constructive Information That Will Alleviate The Dweller Concerns About Parking On Site.
Regards
