3. Background •
• in 2005, the applicant submitted a zoning by-law amendment application to
permit a dog daycare and boarding facility with associated retail, on the
northern portion of the subject property, while retaining the existing residence
• during the review of the application, a number of issues relating to noise, the
structural integrity of existing buildings, and the need for site plan approval
were identified; although the structural integrity of the building was addressed,
there was an on-going concern with the potential for noise
• accordingly, in 2007, City Council approved the use by passing a temporary
use by-law, for a period of three years, to allow the potential impacts of noise
to be monitored
• Site Plan Approval was granted in May 2010, but the temporary use by-law
expired on July 23, 2010, before the facility could become fully operational
(see Submitted Plan, Attachment#2)
• in March 2011, City Council approved an extension to the temporary use
zoning by-law for an additional three years in order to monitor the operation
and fully assess any potential impacts, including noise on surrounding
properties
• the extension to that temporary use zoning by-law expired on March 24, 2014
•
