Development Permit Panel Agenda
The Development Permit Panel reviewed an application by Brad Dore for a Development Variance Permit at 10371 Springwood Crescent. The request involves a variance to Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500 to reduce the minimum building separation between a detached garage located in the rear yard and the main dwelling unit, as well as to reduce the minimum setback from the rear lot line to the detached garage. Staff supported the proposal based on the garage's design, lack of window impact on neighboring properties, and the support submitted by adjacent property owners.
