REASONS FOR DECISION:

The MPT APPROVED the application for the reasons set out in the Planner’s report except reason 7.1.1 which is amended and two additional reasons added

7.1.1. The rezoning of the property from Single Residential 1 Use Zone to General Residential 4 will allow for the efficient use of the property that is in line with the City’s Municipal Spatial Development Framework (2018), the Cape Flats District Plan (2012), the Densification Policy and the City’s TOD Strategic Framework. The consolidation allows for a larger site area which facilitates a more effective design for the proposed flats.
7.1.6 The proposal satisfies the desirability criteria in terms of Section 99 in the Municipal Planning Bylaw as listed in paragraph 6.1.4 of the report.
7.1.7 The massing of the building is similar to other buildings in Carnie Road and would have minimal impact
