Delta Not Keen on Pair of Townhouse Applications
Share
The City of Delta has recently sent back two rezoning applications for townhouse developments located at 11220 and 11230 83 Avenue. These applications were submitted together to create a unified site layout, but the city has raised concerns regarding compliance with its one driveway per lot requirement.
The proposed developments include three-storey townhouse buildings with four three-bedroom units each. However, the applicants have favored a design that includes two driveway accesses per lot, which contradicts Delta's regulations aimed at minimizing sidewalk crossings and preserving on-street parking.
Question
What are the implications for developers when city regulations conflict with their design preferences?
