Variances

For this development, the developer applied for a few variances:

By-law	Application for
Allows building height up to 75 feet	A height variance – 126 feet or 10 storeys
Requires 59 parking spaces	A parking variance to allow for more parking spaces nearby, rather than on-site: 17 parking spaces at 425 Osborne St. 50 parking spaces in the two-level parking structure at 421 Osborne St.
Requires 66 bicycle parking spaces	A parking variance to allow for more bicycle parking nearby, rather than on-site: 10 bicycle parking spaces at 425 Osborne St. 60 bicycle parking spaces at 421 Osborne St.
