Decisions about a Glebe retail development, including a patio, have been pushed until next month so attempts can be made to alleviate parking concerns.
The city-staff recommended, two-storey proposal for 852 Bank St. was to be voted on Tuesday at planning committee. But Capital ward Coun. David Chernushenko told the committee more time is needed to work out parking concerns between the community and developer Canderel.
“The community and BIA have asked that they give us more details about parking and if, and why, it’s not feasible for them,” Chernushenko said.
City planners are recommending Canderel receive a zoning bylaw amendment to allow aspects of the plan involving parking, the patio and loading area. Despite some changes to address local worries, the lack of any onsite parking has continued to be a concern for some residents, as was heard in public responses and community meetings.
In a report to the committee, city planners agreed with the developer, saying the development would be a “clear improvement in urban design” and providing 40-60 parking spaces now required would be “impractical.”
Planning chair Coun. Peter Hume said the development will now be dealt with on Oct. 2, at the last planning meeting before the election.
“Get together and work this all out so you can come back to the committee and we’ll all be happy,” Hume said to a Canderel representative.
Hume said he’ll have questions next month about why the development, near Fifth Avenue, is low density and not “something more substantial.”
